From a link posted by Michelle Malkin on Facebook, a soldier who recently moved to Colorado from Fort Hood, TX foiled two thieves when they tried to rob him and his wife on the street.
The couple was out for a walk in a neighborhood near Fairmont Place and Fairmont Drive when two masked men approached them.
The man, a soldier, has a concealed carry permit and was carrying a gun, police said.
The soldier confronted the robbers with the gun, police said. Police tell us one of the robbers pointed what appeared to be a handgun at the couple. That’s when the man fired one shot in the suspect’s direction, police said.
Armed military veterans walking the streets. The country couldn’t be in better hands.
Funny, though (and I don’t mean ha-ha) that he would not be allowed to carry concealed on a military post or base.
VI: According to the above link it was on the side of the Freeway not on base.
BTW the above quote block doesn’t match up with whats in the link
Where’s the additional information of the Police checking the dead bodies for ID?
Shot in the direction? Must have been an Air Force vet 🙂
Must have been an Air Force veteran REPORTER that wrote the piece….Otherwise, we get this from the piece Police say the couple believes the men were Hispanic based on their accents but their faces were covered. this pair of undocumented workers er voters were one of Obama’s “Wealth Redistribution” team that failed the test miserably….
Nuc–yeah, i got that it was on the freeway. Just a pet peeve that i can’t carry on post, but can in 30-some states.
Criminals prefer unarmed victims (read: easy prey). Maybe they will think twice that someone may actually shoot back.
I carry everywhere except to work (on post). I find it profoundly irritating.
