Classic case where a personal weapon could have made a great deal of difference.

Nonsense! Both my wife & I have CCW licenses. While in the USMC, I always fired Expert with both the M1911A1 and the aviator's S&W Model 15 .38 Special.

... a silver two-door car slows by him. The unidentified driver, believed to be in his 20s, pulls out a gun and begins shooting Tse, who falls to the ground.

Situational awareness is one thing, but monitoring every vehicle and individual of whom you are in range is impossible, especially for a lone individual in a 'peacetime' situation. You are dead or severely wounded before you can evaluate the situation, let alone get your weapon out, locate the shooter and return accurate fire.

I suspect you did not watch the video.

He notices the vehicle.

He notices he is being targeted.

He tries to get away.

He does not take cover.

He has several opportunities to draw and return fire.

BwanaNdege.....Bingo..

marktwain....I hate to be like this with folks on here, but you’re out of your mind right now.

An elderly man, winter clothes, hood up, starts taking rounds and you think he’s going to start doing ninja flips and draw weapon and return fire. If you’re bringing p information you either have ZERO idea what you’re talking about or you’re so overconfident of any abilities you may think you have that you’re living in LaLaLand.

Sadly, this man was way behind Jeff Cooper’s Color Code, as he should have been just walking to get a newspaper as he’s probably done for decades.

Please, get over yourself.
