The Second Amendment at work. Citizens protecting themselves from lawless thugs. It’s great to hear that the “good guy” won.
Both black?
I am shocked!!!!!! Shocked, I tell you!!!
Nice job defending himself, but more range time is needed.
I think I missed the connection to PA...this took place in Woodbridge, VA (a suburb of DC). I live near there. Was one of the thugs from PA?
Anyway, as a side note to any locals...I just noticed on the link to the article that there is a Gun Show today in Dale City at the VFW. Great advertising! I know where I will be this afternoon. :)
Yeah ,me too——shocked.

I do most of my driving/stopping at night during the winter.
1. Be alert to your surroundings at all times. You are at your most vulnerable while getting into your car.
2. Get in and LOCK THE DOOR.
3. Have your concealed weapon in your hand when you do it. If they point a gun through the window, fire immediately. Studies show that the sooner you take action the better your odds are.
4. Start your engine and drive away. Warming up is nice. Making it home alive is nicer.
Awesome. I'm on my way. :-)
The Amish strike again.
A Prince William Co. resident who, like Mr. and Mrs. Wookie, won’t be getting an invitation to Prince William’s wedding.
How do you miss at less than 1 foot distance? Was he holding the gun backwards?
I thought the same but under stress strange things can happen. Years ago I almost stepped on a large water moccasin in some high grass by the river. I had a 22 in my hand with a 9 round clip. I unloaded the clip, missing with the first 8 and he dashed into the 9th while trying to get back to the water. I couldn't imagine how I missed that large snake that was right at my feet. I'm glad I didn't shoot my feet off.
The stress, EXTREME close quarters, and being shocked with a stun-gun were likely all factors.
Did you make it? It was a nice little show. There is another one, same place, the weekend of Jan 16.
