I was ALMOST robbed today!

[jbrooks19]

Today in Logansport i was at the gas station, just went in for a coke.. I came out and as i was about to get in my car a guy walked out from behind the gas station and said "Give me your money and i wont hurt you"......
I was thinking who does this douche bag think he is?............... So i instantly drew my Glock out and yelled step back, his eyes got HUGE and he backed up, as soon as i got my phone out to call the police he took off running.. Glad i had my Glock!!!!

question. When you drew your glock out. Where was it pointed? where was your trigger finger? Round in the pipe or not?

Did you have to wait for the cops to show up?

 

[badmac183]

Why didn't you press that button on the glock? I hear it's the fastest way to get police to the scene of a crime.

Why does any of that matter?

I didn't see a weapon, therefor i didn't wanna push the "Boom button" lol

Yes i did wait for the police to show up, i filed a police report and gave the best description i could, not being raciest or rude but he was hispanic and they all look the same to me, so giving a accurate description was difficult...

Edit, OP replied quicker than me

I'm glad you are ok and no one was hurt. Too bad the BG wasnt apprehended....that we know of.

 

[armedindy]

this guys next potential victim will be someone he thinks wont be armed...so i hope the little girl driving a hyundai and wearing a beanie is packing some heat

Better question: Also, why didn't you physically get in your car, and call the cops then? You said you were about to. Drawing was always taught to me as the last possible route before death, and I would have handed him everything except the gun that is my lifeline, while attempting to gather as many details as possible. He leaves with his swag, I leave with my life. Go back in the gas station call 911 with the description of my car, name, license, car contents, etc. I think we needed the expanded version.

Seriously though, Glad you are ok. Just trying to gain insight.

just curious of the details.

 

[jbrooks19]

They said that they have been having reports of some "Rough looking people" hanging around that area lately.. Thats all they really said other than we will get a hold of you if we find anyone that matches that description, they also were gonna try getting security cam video.. Ok, also it was pointed at his chest, one in the chamber and finger on trigger.

Being posted under handguns, my first thought was you stopped at Don's

Great job op.

 

[jbrooks19]

I didn't yet have my door open and what was i supposed to say "hold on while i get my door unlocked"? And i drew on him because he said "give me your money and i wont hurt you"... He said "hurt you" therefor it is a threat and there is no way in hell someone is going to threaten me and me not do something. He could have had a knife, gun, or some other weapon under his coat, so me drawing on him may have stopped him from hurting me.

Almost every gas station has tape running all the time. Have the station run the tape for the cops.

You did an excellent job OP!

This will be yet another of the daily defense uses of a firearm that the jackass lib media will never acknowledge.

Actually, I'm curious as well. Not because I have any intention of second guessing you, but for my own learning. The very first time I unholstered for what I thought might be self-defense purposes I found myself with a very good sight picture, a round in the chamber, a very steady hand...and a magazine in the dirt at my feet. I had inadvertently ejected it by having poor thumb placement and a very tight grip. I'm glad I learned it in a situation that turned out to not be life threatening, as I would have had one round, and one round only to defend myself with had it been necessary. You did good. I'm glad you didn't have to shoot him. How did you dig your phone out and dial 911 while holding your gun ready? Just reading your story made me realize that I haven't really got a well practiced plan to do that.

The issue is that i was parked on the side of the gas station and their cameras face the front where the pumps are.

I constantly practice drawing my gun, shooting one handed so that way i can properly hold my gun in one hand and something else (cell phone) in the other.. I had one in the chamber (15 more in the clip) pointed at his chest and finger on the trigger, so if he reached in and pulled out a weapon i was ready to control the situation
