Shot Fired In Walmart Parking Lot Carjacking In Hanover

Glad your friend is OK.

It is good to see that the police press release stated these facts. I noticed WBAL included the AAPD facts in their article, as well. While it is not their goal, it does show HGP holders in a positive light.

Carjacking, attempted carjacking reported at 2 shopping centers

Anne Arundel County police are investigating an armed carjacking and an attempted armed carjacking at two shopping centers from over the weekend.

Thanks. It sheds a positive light on CCW, and shows the need to be able to defend oneself. Hopefully it also has the counter affect on public opinion to the food court incident that occured earlier this month.

Did the pieces of shit suspects leave in your friends car?

Do you know why you friend did not fore his gun?

I would probably have just wet my pants.

I am very glad your friend is okay!!

Did the victim by chance shoot back with a han-solo replica blaster? Did the criminals miss because they were dazzled by his amazing hair?

They did not leave in his car. As some folks do with a new car he parked further away from the store. He noticed a silver Toyota sedan with dark tinted windows parked right next to his SUV on the passenger side, which put him on alert. He went to the driver side and opened the back door to put his purchases inside and saw two guys jump out with guns in hand. He then opened the driver door to give additional cover, drew his sidearm, and chambered a round. One guy comes around the rear and says give up the keys, saw the gun ready, yelled OH Sh!t!!! and let off some unaimed shots while running away. My buddy moved to cover while looking for the the other individual. He said he didn't take a shot because he didn't feel he had a shot and would have been shooting toward the store. A second vehicle pulled up and they both drove away. Buddy calls the police, gives a statement, shows his CCW, and goes home with his gun. Edited for vehicle description accuracy.

Well done!

Silver sedan, two guys with guns, going for BMWs. Seems like quite the coincidence. So the friend doesn't keep a round chambered? Glad he is ok but the couple seconds it takes to load the weapon can be crucial when defending one's self.

Yeah, no kidding. They didn't even hit the truck. Honestly, I don't think they were expecting to be challenged in MD. That and the probable sideways pushing of the bullets out of the gun while running away make for bad accuracy. I kid, but my friend is still shaken by the experience. He says he's definitely going with Shield Arms mags now in his G43X for more capacity and carrying a spare, which he didn't do before. Also considering a lower profile vehicle.

Can someone forward this police statement to sunovabitch Brian Frost?

 

[davsco]

wow that's some crazy stuff, glad he walked away unharmed, and kept his ride, and good for not unloading possibly into a group of innocents in the background.

before he worries about more capacity though, he should carry the gun actually LOADED.

So now I am suddenly rethinking putting my pistol in the center console when driving and carrying at 3 or 4’clock. I guess this is another checkbox in the AIWB column.

Hard to draw from AIWB seated

Shoulder holster

I wonder how many criminals are aware of the Bruen ruling.

LOL. They aren't criminals for nothing...reading the laws/rules? Nope.

Or maybe not. The victim may become the victim.

This is amazing, well done by your friend! Maybe it'll give your buddy the confidence he needs to carry with one in the chamber?

If Frosh's position was based on controlling crime, AND if he was objective (LOL) it might make a teeny, tiny difference in his stance. Since neither are true, it is indeed a 'waste of electrons' to try to communicate this.

I'd rather send Frosh a couple violent carjackers

 

[Bertfish]

Shame you're friend didn't get a few shots off

We've had that conversation prior to this happening. He's new to CCW, I'm even newer, so I think it's a growing comfort level thing. I also think we might be revisiting that conversation again real soon.
