ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) -- A resident told police he used his concealed gun to chase away a knife-wielding robber in downtown St. George.
The resident suffered a minor cut on his neck, police Lt. Mark Brklacich said.
He said the man had cashed a check at about 1:45 p.m. Tuesday at the EZ Cash drive-up window. As he pulled into traffic, he saw a man near a dark SUV waving him over.
Thinking the man was having car problems and needed help, he pulled over.
The resident said the assailant approached him, put a knife against his neck and demanded money.
But the resident "reached down and pulled out his concealed weapon and pointed it toward the suspect," Brklacich said.
The robber ran back to his own vehicle and drove away. He remained at large.

In Utah we can use deadly force so long as there is an immediate danger of death or great bodily harm. If the scumbag runs away, we can't shoot him in the back.
Darn!

Too bad he didn't shoot him. CCW's are proving to be worth their weight in gold.

I would have pointed & shot.
I would consider it my civic duty to rid the country of these vermin when I can legally do so.
To: Mr. Mojo
I'm surprised he didn't give chase long enough to get a tag number.

Maybe there should be a test for incoming congressmen and senators...like, quick, recite the second amendment!
So sorry, Charlie. Thank you for playing.
The correct answer is:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Thinking the man was having car problems and needed help, he pulled over. We gun nuts are the biggest bunch of good samaritans... It's easy for folks to say they would have shot the guy, but we never know all the circumstances.

There was immediate danger of death or great bodily harm before the perp turned his back to run...shoot as soon as the weapon cleared the holster!

I would have smoked his ass.If some bastard put a knife to anyone in my family; the SOB would wish he was sitting on a bunji-stick with his nuts in his mouth. Then again, he'd only be on this cognitive/spiritual Earth for about two seconds.
Sigs rule.
