[QUOTE="RedTape, post: 984559, member: 66"] 1) He didn't bring a gun to a fist fight. He was followed and attacked by two individuals. He had a CCW with him. What's that I've always heard..."It doesn't do you any good if you don't carry it." Maybe he should have fought 2 on 1 with just his fists. I'm sure that wouldn't present the danger of the attackers taking the weapon from him...i.e. now you ARE being threatened by armed assailants, except you no longer have a weapon to defend yourself. I'm confident that anyone with force on force training can tell you how easy it is to have your gun taken away...and how hard it is to protect your weapon without proper training. 2)A lot of people seem to be criticizing this guy for pulling over. Had he been in a car, I would agree with you, but a bike is a totally different story. If the drunks decided just to bump into him he could easily have crashed. Also, it's not to easy to avoid someone while on a bike AND call 911 with a helmet on (don't know if he was wearing one)...much less the dispatcher being able to hear you over the noise of the wind/bike. He didn't know these two guys would circle the block and come back to confront him while in a public place. The simple fact is we don't really know all of the circumstances. Maybe security video will shed more light on this incident. Based on police statements, it sounds like he was outnumbered, attacked and in pretty bad shape being hit in the head and choked (losing oxygen to the brain for a short period of time can cause serious brain damage...which sounds like a probable outcome had others not come to his aid and pulled assailant #2 off him). Based on the information provided it sounds justified, but who knows until a full report is released. [/QUOTE]
