On April 22, a customer at a Kroger in Little Rock, Arkansas, saw an elderly man surrounded by “seven people,” so he drew his gun and intervened to protect the gentleman.
The group surrounding the elderly man then turned their attention toward the armed customer and implored him to look the way. ” According to Fox 16, the group kept yelling, “[This] isn’t your fight, you need to walk away and you need to put the gun down.”
The armed citizen refused to comply, and instead kept his gun trained on the group as they fled the scene.
The armed citizen–who simply gave his name as “Gene”–said that he could hear a woman behind him calling 911 and when police arrived they ascertained that the elderly man was allegedly “being assaulted by his nephew” at the time that Gene intervened.

This is the dumbest idea ever presented on this forum and a sure ticket to prison for the fool who might attempt to execute your plan.
Well some local papers printed the story. It happened about a mile from here:

It did say the victim was the uncle of the 7 “attackers”.
The CCW class I attended talked alot about the “white knight syndrome”. In short you feel bolder and may become involved when you normally wouldn’t if you are carrying. You are also more liable to act on first impressions when facts later would change your response.
For accuracy, you should always practice firing double action. Every trigger-pull should feel the same and you may have to fire more than once or not have time to cock in an emergency.
He's a good boy.
He hasn't beat the stuffing out of his mamma since he took her EBT card last night.
There was no funeral for the victim. The targeted victim walked away after eliminating the thug.
This was proven when the mob controlled Vegas. The service industry was very well-behaved!
Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.
Good post yours (#36) KG9. Thanks. I thought about reminding the poster who criticized me that I was greatly outnumbered. And, as I had mentioned, I was unarmed.
Perhaps calling the police wasn't the way to go. Perhaps I should have attacked the entire group. After all, I've seen Chuck Norris do that many times. It always worked for him.
Upon what charge?
He was considering going in ALONE AND UNARMED into an altercation with several people over someone who was getting robbed. I think it is ridiculous to consider throwing your life away over MONEY, and not even your own money. That is why I said his priorities are out of alignment. His first priority is to think of his family who depends on him. While every good citizen would want to help the mugging victim get his money back, it would have turned out very badly if he had stepped in.
Who knows, a scum sucking DA would invent something if nothing else applied. Did you not hear the new Atty. General state that she would "use the law to ensure liberty and equality to all." That is as close as I can recall her statement today when she was immaculated. Translate that as " Whitey is going to take it in the rump."
Got it. Kirkwood, I'm in complete agreement with your thoughtful post #52. I took your original comment to mean that I should have intervened, instead of just calling the police. I see now that I completely misinterpreted your remarks. Thanks for the clarification.
Why do they call the hero a “gun man” and say he “took the law into his own hands”?
Not you, I guess. Yet you seemed awfully certain of it.
The way I see it, in a situation where "draw and fire at once" equals a good shoot, then "draw, cock, click, then fire" is exactly the same...just takes longer.
Probably will never do it....but fun to think about :D
