The Second Amendment at work. Citizens protecting themselves from lawless thugs. It’s great to hear that the “good guy” won.

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. :)

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.

he was likely less than a foot away from the men when he discharged his weapon.

How do you miss at less than 1 foot distance? Was he holding the gun backwards?

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
