A pair of armed robbers learned what it meant to “find out” in the great state of Texas when they attempted to rob a 34-year-old San Antonio man in the early morning hours of August 25th. As of now, no arrests have been made, but the incident is currently under investigation by the San Antonio Police Department.
The assailants spotted their would-be victim on the 200 block of Ranch Valley just before 3:50 am on Sunday. That’s when they approached the 34-year-old and made their move, which would prove to be the wrong move as he drew his own handgun in self-defense and fired at the two armed men, shooting one suspect in the head and providing the other with some new hip jewelry.
When officers arrived on the scene they found a 23-year-old suspect lying on the ground with a critical gunshot wound to the head. Miraculously still alive, he was transported to the hospital by Emergency Medical Services where he was listed in critical condition. The second suspect had been hospitalized separately, with San Antonio Police Department investigators later confirming his involvement in the altercation after questioning witnesses and the suspect himself.
Incidents such as this one occur every day and at every time of day. Being a responsible and prepared gun owner can mean the difference between life and death. Since carry laws are not equal from state to state, a travesty of what is supposed to be the overarching law of the land that is the Second Amendment, it is important to understand your local laws when it comes to carrying a firearm and defending yourself. No, it should not be like this. You are supposed to have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, but politicians who seek power and control through subjugation seem to have other plans.
This story had a happy ending because the would-be victim happened to be in Texas, where there is much less fear of using deadly force to preserve your own life. In places such as California, a power-hungry virtue-signaling DA might have already filed charges against the good guy. Make no mistake, this isn’t even solely about guns, as your freedom could be at serious risk for attempting to restrain a hostile individual in the state of New York using a chokehold. You should question a government that wants you in fear of defending yourself, even in your home. We all have lives, jobs, family and friends that tie us to the places we live. Still, it is important to have difficult conversations about stepping out of our comfort zone and perhaps relocating to a place that values liberty and supports your right to value your life.
