No, they hurt some of the victims. Burned one with a lighter, and hit and kicked another according to this news report:

A perp today will already have his gun out and pointed at you before you can even reach for your concealed gun, much less pull it out.

Bonus for him: He can steal your gun too. One more gun on the streets.

But at least you're showing us you're not a "white collar wimp"!

Have you ever studied martial arts?

Have you ever had defensive firearm training?

Do you know what situational awareness means?

Are you aware that criminal attacks follow predictable patterns and involve predictable cues?

Do you know what the OODA loop is?

It is possible for an armed intended victim to defend themself against criminal assault.

Racism? Article never mentioned the race of the perpetrators.

Just as likely to be AU or Georgetown kids (of any race) who need beer money for the weekend.

Lol. Decades of experience tell me you love under a rock.

you better be correct, or you're spending the rest of your life behind bars. There are no stand your ground laws here or shifting elements that make it easing to get away. If you are wrong, you are either a murderer or an attempted murderer

What are you talking about?

The issue was whether a person facing a mortal threat and mortal danger from an armed kidnapper/robber could effectively use a firearm to defend themselves even though they would be reacting to a situation the criminal initiated.

Self defense is not murder. People don’t get jailed for lawful self defense.

As for “better be correct,” there is seldom any question when an armed kidnap/robbery is occurring. And the alternative of meek acquiescence while being rendered helpless is despicable.

I’ve lived in nearby Fairfax County for 30 years. That whole plaza has gotten really sketchy.

I'd be less scared than being bound and put in a trunk in DC. Are you freaking kidding me?

I notice the perp in Loudoun was an AU student as well

You reach for your wallet, pull out your weapon and fire first.
