Another example of a concealed carry citizen saving the day unfolded in Texas last week.
At a Home Depot store in Amarillo, a man suspected of stealing power tools was confronted by the store’s loss prevention officer in the parking lot, reported KVII-TV.
The two ended up in a struggle after the officer caught the suspect, 35 year-old Ricky Solis, when he tried to flee. Another man stepped in and tried to help Solis escape, police said, kicking the loss prevention officer in the face.
The second suspect then retrieved a tire iron from his car and allegedly returned to assault the officer, according to KVII.
That's when a citizen who witnessed the scene stepped in to help.
He drew his gun and ordered the men to get on the ground, but the second suspect got back in his car and fled. The armed citizen kept his gun trained on Solis who was subsequently handcuffed by the loss prevention officer, who had suffered minor injuries to his face.

I wonder if HD has one of those “do not pursue” policies and will fire the guard?

I love your homepage! That’s pretty much my view as well, though just a bit less green since I live one state south of you ;)

Another one of those incidents that supposedly never happen according to the MSM/anti-2a activists.

Loss prevention officer needs to head to hardware and pick up a 3 ft chunk of 1’ galvanized pipe at the beginning of each shift, or over to lawn & garden for a machete.

I think they may sell Easy Off heavy duty oven cleaner in a spray can there. Guy wouldn’t have any eyes left if he got hit with that.

Well, they did give him handcuffs.

Wonder if the Home Depot stores would reconsider arming their loss prevention officers in the event a weapon-carrying customer is not available to intervene in the future? Like that would ever happen in Amarillo.

Wonder if the Home Depot stores would reconsider arming their loss prevention officers in the event a weapon-carrying customer is not available to intervene in the future? There's no lead in any Home Depot store.
I got that straight from one of their people.

The citizen foolishly took his life in his own hand’s allowing the suspect to return to his (deadly weapon) vehicle.
There is a fine line between brave and crazy.

The blacks playing the knockout game have shown that 18 to 24 inches is the optimal length ‘cause it fits up their sleeve better.
