Body armor might have been a better choice.
Whoa. It can take one to three seconds to draw and fire your weapon. And to do that when your opponent already has their weapon pointed at you is either suicidal or really gutsy.
With the record numbers of gun sales and CCW permit applications, being a criminal is likely to become an increasingly hazardous activity.
Good job, troop.
Notice in the story that “the robber” is not identified in any way. No name, age, race, etc. I wonder why? Was “the robber” really just trying to obtain some Skittles?
The masked robber jumped the unarmed security guard about 2:15 p.m. inside the QVL Pharmacy at 850 FM 1960 near the North Freeway
Unarmed security is about as useful as tits on a boar.
“The masked robber jumped the unarmed security guard about 2:15 p.m.”
Geez, isn’t wearing a mask like wearing a hoodie? Are we sure the poor “victim” wasn’t profiled? /s
One robbery, one Ranger.
I wonder if the retired DPS officer had been a Texas Ranger?
Be that as it may, it sounds like this robber was a bit more orderly than most that pull drugstore heists.
