That vet was very merciful or didn't want to deal with the clean up.

That link in the original post wanted me to download something so I looked for it on other sources.

Very old dupe, but a good one.

Yeah, but get a plastic bib or you will always be double-washing the cloth ones

He should have pistol whipped the robber!

He should have pistol whipped the robber!

Seems to me he would have been justified in unloading on him. The robber still had his piece and could have fired on the clerk.

I'm surprised that he didn't take the shot since he never had control of the robber's weapon. I'm not sure I could have restrained myself like he did if faced with the same type of situation.

It's always nice to see that there are happy endings.

I applaud his restraint, but I'm guessing if that guy had made even the tiniest move to bring that gun back up, things would have turned out very differently.

This is my assumption as well. Once the vet more or less took control of the situation the only mess that needed to be made was in the bad guy's pants.

My only issue with NOT firing, is now bad guy knows clerk is armed and maybe next time doesn't hesistate to draw / fire upon entering to get the drop on him?

 

[shanksinator]

Guessing he's a coward and will not be back, will instead seek out easier prey.

Or the bad guy dropped a deuce in his pants and realizes the next time he pulls a stunt like this his momma might have to buy a coffin to bury his dumb azz in.

I would have pulled the trigger.

I love how the robber doesn't realize there's a gun almost in his mouth at first.

Guy was awfull slow and Nonchalant about pulling is gun to rob the clerk. Good for the clerk. Good guy wins again.

I think the good guy probably had just a little bit more experience with his weapon than the bad guy did. That probably also explains the restraint. Our veterans, especially those that have been in combat, not only learn how to use their weapons, but when to use them. We don't know about this vet, but he may have direct experience using a weapon directly on another human being and knows the consequences that come with that decision.

This reminds me, maybe I should take the time to practice drawing mine.

Sure would've been nice to see the vet disarm the creep.
