Taylor is very lucky -- and very stupid.
If someone had told me that he was going to kill me, I wouldn't have drawn my gun and called police. I would have drawn my gun, shot to stop the assailant and then called police & my self-defense lawyer.
If the dude was close enough to continuously ask for a ride, then he was close enough to brandish his own weapon, even if it was a knife and cover the distance to injure or kill Taylor before Taylor had been able to react, draw and fire.

Yup, although in this instance he saves the lawyer money.

Mr. Taylor survived his encounter, that's good.
It's a shame the thug is still at large and still capable of murdering his next victim when he steals their car.
I call this a win/lose.

If I had to shoot in self-defense, I'd shoot to kill.Well, you know that and I know that, but weak-stomached juries might hear that coming out of your mouth and think "COLD BLOODED MURDERER!"

Wow, this story almost sounds objective. Has to be a local Utah station because no way you hear this in most markets!

You might reconsider calling the police after you peg a perp
the cops would rather you didnt defend yourself you are
horning in on their action. If I ever have to waste good ammo on some thug Im not going to stick around and wait for the uniformed thugs to show up.

Concealed Weapon Keeps Man Safe in Attempted Carjacking Seems to me it was most effective once revealed. Maybe I'm just nitpicking.

This is why in Utah you should have a concealed weapons permit for TWO small pistols, one for you to shoot the perp threatening your life absolutely graveyard dead, and the SECOND weapon to put into their hands (if they don't have one of their own) after they (ahem) "wrestled it out of your grasp", good thing you had a backup weapon. ;)

Another example why everyone should have the right to concealed carry. Without even reading any further down the thread, allow me to add my own sentiments that you already DO have such a Right.
Right now, we just have a bunch of bureaucrats and their enforcers keeping us from doing so without first going through the "guilty until proven innocent" licensing scheme.

You don't shoot to kill. You shoot to live.
Double tap center mass. One to the head. Call 911.

The more people carry, the safer all of us are -- crime goes down when criminals are know citizens can and will shoot them...
