Too bad he wasn’t armed.
First thing I thought of.
What you said.
This is why I carry. You never know when the criminals and crazies will come out of hiding.
“I just believe that my brother is a hero,” Floyd said. “He is an absolute hero.”

YES, he should have been armed.
I don’t want to downplay his dilemma in any way possible and glad they are both safe.
He acted sanely, got to a safe place and out of ‘immediate’ danger.
Commendable Yes.
Father protecting his family. YES
Hero? NO,
sorry but they have surely been watering down what a ‘hero’ is these days.
Remember the ‘first stage’ of being a hero is to be one of the people who run towards gun fire or fire while others are retreating.
Then when he gets there he ‘sacrifices’ himself to save others etc.
By ‘sacrifice’ I don’t mean gives up his life BUT he puts himself in MORE danger to save others.
A carry gun and some training would solved this problem, permanently.
Agree.
He was. With his own car.
Although admittedly having a full-size Town Car would’ve been better.
I’m glad he wasn’t armed, considering the way he incompetently handles a mere phone.
Right. Anybody who wonders why I travel in the company of Mr. Browning or Mr. SIG-Sauer can read this story.
