Armed Jewelry Store Owner Tells His Story Defending Against 2 Armed Robbers In Texas

This Armed Jewelry Store Owner is an example of what gun owners should have: Instinct and situational awareness.

[@dwbpqfpg5929]

@@mrdonetx correct. They do take them away, and that's why people in the United States and other countries have to constantly fight through the legal process to keep their rights. When the legal process no longer works things start getting sketchy between the government and the people of the country. So far the legal process still shows signs of holding together more than it falls apart in most places of the US, and that's why we haven't seen the citizens rise up in any real way against the government. Your rights are yours as a human, it's up to each individual to exercise those rights so that the government recognizes them and knows it's limitations.

[@longgone9869]

I can tell from how he grips the pistol and his carry position that he doesn’t train very often. He probably considers just standing at a range shooting a static piece of paper as training. While standing at a gun range and shooting at a paper target is good for firearm familiarity and practicing the basics.

Disarm a law abiding citizen to leave them a victim is what upsets me as a law abiding citizen whom never looks forward to protecting me and others from bad characters out to harm innocent people.

[@CrashRacknShoot]

That seems like an impossible disconnect for them to get over. None of us are looking for that fight. We *want* to be left alone, stay as invisible as the next non-descript person on the street/store/etc. With crime never going away, especially in districts where crime isn't combatted sufficiently, if we become the target of a bad guy, we simply want the chance to not be killed. How that's a difficult concept to get across, I'll never know. But the crazy thing is, I don't know if they realize they are entitled to these same rights. Obviously everyone is different, but simply letting them know that as Americans they, too, can defend themselves should they so choose to. I can think of at least two different times that made a bell go off in (previously) anti-gun friends of mine.

[@DoctorQuackenbush]

And that’s why I’m fortunate enough to have a spare.

[@melvinweeks9172]

It isn't a disconnect. Any idiot seeing the logic. That's why they want cops to have guns and why mass shootings aren't happening in police stations. They know the truth. Make laws to disarm the citizens.

Also Colion, I really appreciate you doing these interviews cause obviously the local/mainstream news DO not want people to know who these people are and how normal they are, despite how news worthy this type of interview is, it's easier to keep people in the dark and believe in the narrative that the only people who like guns are would be school shooters or paranoid maniacs. Kind surprised a bunch of gun tubers haven't picked up this niche, your the only one I'm seeing do it. See lots of former military operator interviews and such (which is fine and good btw) a lot of complaints that the news isn't interested in these stories but again your the first really taking it into your own hands and filling in the void there.
