The other day my wife and I were running some errands and decided to stop and get gas before heading home.
I pulled up to a pump at the gas station get out of our SUV and head inside to pay. As I was walking inside I notice two guys arguing I had noticed they arrived together so I didnt think anything of it. They also had their girlfriends with them. I go inside pay while walking back to my SUV these two guys have eachother in headlocks, then the bigger of the two guys picks the other up and slams him on the ground knocking him out. He then punches the guy twice in the face while he's out cold. I head to my SUV call 911 explaining what was going on. During this time the girlfriends are screaming and the guy picks up his friend he knocked out and puts him in his truck and leaves fast. I didn't want to intervene because my wife has a physical disability and wouldn't have been able to drive off or leave the area to get hersel out of danger.The police never arrived and I get a call about 10 minutes later from the police telling me they couldnt find the vehicle I described (partial plate I didnt have my glasses).
Hindsight is 20/20 I was thinking to myself if I had been opencarrying if I would have been justified drawing on the attacker? What if this guy would have come at me would I have been justified shooting him?He was not armed he was wearing shorts sneakers and no shirt. This whole incident made me think about all the what if's. Was my 911 call enough?
All the above ended with me at the range Saturday practicing to be a Sheepdog.
Your thoughts? How would you have reacted?
