Hello everyone, This is my first post on the forum's. I have been an active reader for awhile now but never registered to post. But after the other day i thought i would share my story with everyone.
Now mind you in VA it is perfectly legal to opencarry, and from what i have read they are one of the best states to live in if you are a gun owner. My sidearm is a Smith and Wesson Model 3913TSW 9MM. And i Always. and i mean ALWAYS carry a weapon. either concealed or Open-carried. That day i happened to have it holstered on my side.
It happened on Feb 27th. Was a Wednesday afternoon. I had just picked up my 18month old son and 4 year old daughter from their grandparents house and was on my way to the mall to pickup some PJ's for my little boy. I stopped at a local Shell gas station to fill up and got out of my truck and was filling the tank. I was leaning against my truck when i heard what sounded like someone's foot steps running and sliding on sand or gravel, i turned around to see three black guy's and one of which had a knife pressed against my left ribcage. Immediately i thought about my kids, and that they were about to witness their father get murdered for the 10 dollar bill and pack of chewing gum i had in my pockets, and how these guys were prob going to steal my truck and my babies were in it.
Then these guys started yelling at my to "Run my pocket's nigga" and his buddy's started going through my pocket's when i said " Here, take everything" and i reached for my right pocket (gun was holstered under my jacket on my right side) and quickly pulled out my pistol and discharged three quick rounds from hip level pointed upward's Center mass (at the knife holder). He quickly dropped to the ground. almost like someone turned off a lightswitch. His buddy that had started to go through my pocket's reached for his waste band and this time i was able to kick him away from me about 5 feet and i again discharged 3 round's in rapid succession center-mass, and he too fell. the third guy at this point was already running away.
Immediately after this i opened my car door and my kid's were screaming and crying, but i jumped in my truck and drove it about 100 feet away and parked it, this guy and his wife ran up to me saying they saw the whole thing and was i okay, was my kid's okay. And i responded yes, however i was bleeding down my left side. Apparently the guy with the knife managed to stab me but everything happened so fast i didn't recall. All i could think about was my kid's in the truck. Anyhow i holstered my weapon and ran over to the two guy's laying on the ground (mind you two other couples came and were with my kids) and attempted CPR. However, it was very obvious they were deceased. They both had no vital sign's and i discontinued CPR.
When the police arrived they asked for my firearm and interviewed my in the ambulance, by this time my wife arrived and my kids were safe and sound with her. I ended up at the police station after i was discharged from the hospital a few hour's later. The police ruled everything self defense and no charges were filed. I was also given back my firearm. Turn's our the second man that i shot was reaching for a .40 caliber handgun he had hidden in his waste band (that handgun was stolen 6 months ago from someone home that was broken into) The first man i shot was convicted 2 times of armed robbery and numerous drug and weapons violation's. From what the police told me he was also a suspect in the killing of another teenager in the ghetto section of my city.
Last night it actually hit me. That i am directly responsible for ending two human beings lives. Two mother's are without Son's. But.. My hand was forced. My life, and the lives of my two kid's were at stake and no one. And i mean no one will ever harm my loved one's while i have breath in my lungs.
Anyhow.. Thank's for reading my story. I assure you all that it is true, as i have better thing's to do in my life then go on here and fabricate a story.
So all you Anti-gun advocate's - a gun saved my life and the life of my babies! how about changing you're rant's over to crying about foreign oil!
