A Georgia man says he has no regrets after he turned the tables on a would-be carjacker and held him on the ground at gunpoint until police arrived.

Hashim Fannin said he was pulling into a parking spot at the Family Dollar in northwest Atlanta earlier this month when Edgar Horn, 61, slid into the passenger seat after Mr. Fannin’s doors automatically unlocked, a local ABC affiliate reported.

“He told me, ‘You know what this is,’ ” Mr. Fannin recalled.

Thats’ when he pulled out his gun on the suspect.

“I asked him to get out the car, probably not in those exact words,” Mr. Fannin said with a laugh.

Of course this is all a set up because the momunists and nannie bloomers tell us this NEVER happens. Must have missed the “Not actual citizens, actor protrayal.” disclaimer. You know the “Paid, non criminal spokesperson.” thingy.

Black citizen with a gun detains white thug until the police arrive. That sounds like a story that conservatives will celebrate and liberals will ignore.

Yup, he woke up stupid and is lucky to be going to bed the same way.

Good weapons control for the Car owner as well, Finger out of Trigger guard weapon in good petition position.

Locks that automatically open when you put the car in park are what got ICE Agent Jaime Zapata killed in Mexico. That and the fact that he was investigating Fast and Furious.

Armored SUV could not protect U.S. agents in Mexico

Cute detail: Hashim Fannin is an obviously Muslim name; the first recorded Hashim was Mohammed’s grandfather. Judging by the comments, FR is overwhelmingly pro-Hashim Fannin. We’re judging him by his actions, not by the violence of thugs who share his religion, and his actions are those of a decent American taking down thugs.
