According to detectives, the victim possessed a valid concealed carry permit in the District, and his firearm was duly registered.



This is the way.

+1 for the good guys.

This is the way!


That being said, I'm sure the experts will say the driver should have just let the carjacker "take the car, it's only property" or the driver "should have drove away". The driver was "obviously looking for their first kill".

Of course they'd say that..... but:

The victim, positioned near his vehicle, was approached by two suspects traveling in a car. One of the suspects retrieved a gun and demanded the victim surrender his car.

.....

The victim assisted the suspect until help arrived.

Good job but let's keep an eye on this story to see when/if the victim has any of his rights abused.

AFAIK, no.

One has a new hole. The other perp ran.

You know? Some days, it just doesn't pay to be a thug life POS.

BYE...

I'm sure that reporter will soon be punished for, correctly for a change, identifying the carjackee as the victim. The Propaganda Department cannot allow correct terminology for a properly armed citizen to stand!

Yeah, It sounds like he’s still kicking.

”…the suspect, 27-year-old Marcus Thompson, injuring him.

The victim assisted the suspect until help arrived. Simultaneously, the other suspect fled the scene while the victim provided aid to Thompson. Thompson was subsequently taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.”

Between the woman successfully taking on four burglars in Philly the other day, and this cat defending himself on DC's mean streets, that's two innocent citizens who get to enjoy more time on this rock that they may not necessarily have had if the weren't prepared.

Another carjacking story with a happy ending!

 

[gamer_jim]

Another senseless act of gun violence.

My thoughts too

Rendering aid came up in the other thread about the "quiet and inquisitive scholar who loved fashion and football". In that case, the permitted carrier rendered CPR, and it weighed substantially in his favor in terms of being released before trial.

Aside from making myself vulnerable and losing situational awareness when focusing on rendering aid, I don't want to expose myself to infectious bodily fluids. I'm calling 911 and letting them handle it.

Criminals will just start targeting vehicles with non-DC plates. That greatly reduces to risk of the driver being armed.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying here.

Dc doesn't recognize any other permits.
