This happened last Sunday, July 24, at 2:30 in the afternoon in Las Vegas. Bad things can happen anytime, any place.

She could have shot him eight times in the time he took to pretend to clear his weapon. If she had a gun.

I agree a GOOD gun would have made the world a better place. I do have to wonder how it all began though. Luckily the assailant has a bad gun or ammo.

Do we know the victim was a woman? I thought it was a man and wondered why he didn't attack the perp when he was preoccupied with jam. Also, clearly he wanted to kill the victim. Is that attempted murder in the laws eyes ?

Appears to be an elderly man with a pink shirt.
Was it his house or did he run to a neighbor's house?

My 30 yrs working the streets (Ret. '97) as a city cop is why I carry in retirement.

I thought it was an elderly man as well. I think he made the right decision with running into the house. Fist fights don't always turn out the way we want, especially with a much younger adversary.

Because crooks don't make appointments.

"But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. For this reason you also must be ready" Jesus

I am still guessing woman, mostly due to the color / style combinations of clothing.

I always carry sumpthin....Last week I shot a cotton mouth in my driveway while sitting on the golf cart.

Watch closely.
Something is fishy.
I don't know if that's a firearm that kid has.

 

[m&p2.0fdethumbsafety]

it's a glock. he kept trying to rack the slide but there was no ammo in it, the homeowner(the guy he was chasing) from whom he took it, didn't put any inside. the only reason that old guy is still alive.

Ok...I see now. It looks like a rubber glove is stuck in the gun.

Must have been after the lovely pink shirt! He was obviously so distracted by it that he couldn't operate his gun. Glad that it ended well for the intended victum.

Why do I always carry? For the same reason I keep a fire extinguisher in my vehicle as well as my home. It is better to have it and not need it than to find yourself needing it and not having it.

Here is an update on the story that explains why the gun didn't fire. I posted links because of Copyrights.

Glad he got the chance to learn from his mistakes, and it will probably be something his neighbors and acquaintances will learn from also.

We live in dangerous times and the quote from Col. Cooper has never been more appropriate than now.
