We were at Wal Mart, me in sporting goods, Linda looking at ladies underthingys.

A black male BOLTS in from the back door of Tire and Lube Express and a guy was standing in his way. He throws him to the ground and he lands straight on his face, breaking his cheek.

The indevidual keeps running and I show up. Somebody yells call 911 and I see the guy on the ground. Thinking he had a seasure I run about 10 feet from the guy I think is going to call a manager. An LEO passes me and I figure out whats going on.

He yells "STOP OR YOUR GETTING TAZED!!! STOP!!!"

He was tazed to get him on the ground. Then he was cuffed.

THe same girl that was screaming call 911 walked over and was like "He tazed him and when he was on the ground he tazed him AGAIN!!"

No he didnt....

Im sitting there wondering how someone can SEE something like that happen and STILL try and make the officer out to be the bad guy!

I ran to the wife and told her what was happening and we got what we needed and left.

Im not going back to Pearl Wal Mart till I get my CCW. Which wont be too long.

ALL saved money every week will go to a CCW IF I dont work all week and fill out the paperwork next week!

Then I will tote Lindas SCCY CPX-1 till I get my own CCW pistol.

And How was your day??

I dont feel tha a CCW was going to change the situation since you werent in immediate danger and once the poor guy with the broken cheek was injured the scumbag kept running (no longer a threat) your best bet was to be a "good witness". Having said that, I understand your point that next time it may be you or a member of your family in some goblin's path or the guy may do something life threateningly stupid etc. and I agree that in that situation the best person to defend you and yours is yourself.

I'm not particularly old but I do have 3 little girls and a wife and if someone tries to hurt them, I'm not even sure the hand of God himself could stop me from stopping it having said that, I am indeed out of shape and while I have studied martial arts the majority of my life, I am not willing to gamble on hand to hand combat ( considering the shape I'm in ) when it comes to my family...so I carry a gun.
