He got his ass kicked because he was CCing and couldn't get to his weapon in his waistband.
Element of Suprise be damned if you are in a ground and pound situation.
This is EXACTLY why you should carry more than one means to defend yourself, and your hands and feet should be a competent second line of defense. Your mindset being the first.
You see someone skulking around the alley by your garage at sundown and tell me you aren't going to tell them to get the **** away. Didn't think so. The SD aspect of this crime is NOT the point of the thread. He HAD to defend himself and couldn't get to his gun without a beating.
Had his gun been OC, he could have used retention training or a secondary weapon to subdue the attack AND he may not have been beaten as badly due to the distraction of the gun to the kid. Also, the kid may have waivered altogether thinking he may be off duty LEO. Who knows, that's not the point of the thread.
I think that this is a very major flaw in the case for CC. Yeah, store robbery EoS is important. 1v1 and you are screwed (without training)
