This guy had every right to shoot this moron out of his socks........also....for you anti gunners.....this man was attacked by surprise by a man with a bat, and still managed to draw his weapon....even after taking a full swing from the bat....
And to repeat......he did not Shoot.......and held the moron for police....no shots fired....again.....he didn't feel the need and he wasn't drooling when he pulled his gun........
He showed remarkable calm and restraint...
Bearing ArmsMan Attacked In Walmart Won t Open Carry Again - Bearing Arms
Mr. Walker typically conceals his full-size carry pistols, but decided to leave his jacket in the trunk on what he expected to be a quick trip with his three older boys for a batting helmet, some baseballs to toss around the yard, and a few other items. As he was helping his sons find a batting helmet that fit, he noticed a disheveled man come down the aisle and made eye contact with him several times.
The man picked up a bat from the bat rack, and without warning, drew back and swung it at Mr. Walker’s head with full force.
Unlike most people who would have frozen due to the unexpected nature of the attack, or who would have reflexively recoiled away, Mr. Walker stepped forward into the swing and turned his shoulder into his attacker. His reaction both reduced the force of the blow, and kept his assailant from making a potentially deadly strike to his head.
Mr Walker then stepped back to create distance and drew his open-carried Sig Sauer P226 in .357 Sig, racked the slide the chamber a round (he carries it on an empty chamber), and ordered his attacker to the ground.
Walmart’s loss prevention manager and another employee were just two aisles over and ran to the sound of the commotion, and helped contain the attacker until six Yakima police officers—a lieutenant, a sergeant, and four patrol officers—arrived to take the suspect into custody in a matter of minutes.
The officers never felt compelled to draw their own weapons, treated Mr. Walker with respect, and told him that he did everything right, and showed considerable restraint.
Here you go Brain....
Notice...this didn't make national news.....and it is clearly one of the 1.6 million times guns are used to stop or prevent violent criminal attack....and it saved this mans life..........
