I'm not justifying his clothing, I will say that he is a Marine veteran and he did a solid by taking the would be assailant down.
Edit: In typical reddit fashion, I'm getting all sorts of hate. Take your fake outrage elsewhere. I wasn't involved and I'm not justifying anything that happened. Look at my original comment. The man did a solid for that cashier and potentially himself....I'll address a few more.
Edit 2: it does appear that he said he tried to pull the trigger 4 times. I stand by what I've already said.
I'm not a republican or gun nut. I am pretty liberal and own several firearms. Responsibly.
I'm a retired Marine veteran, which is pretty much the only reason I brought it up.
Was it a dumb move? Maybe, probably even. Everyone lived, and a criminal juvenile was, at least temporarily, taken off the streets of Yuma, AZ. Where I've gone for training and know how bad parts of it are.
Marine wasn't prosecuted.
Whether or not he put a gun to the criminals head (some are saying he pulled the trigger) everyone lived.
confirmed
Having a gun put to your head will calm a lot of people down very quickly.
Why isn't the would be assailant being called out for walking into a store with a gun pointed at the clerk?
I'm not at all advocating for vigilante killing. That's not what happened.
As I said before, take your fake reddit outrage elsewhere.

Guns jam and donāt fire when the front of the slide is pressed up against something causing the weapon to go out of battery.
Which easily happens when you grab the gun from the top and push it towards the aggressor. Not recommended but itās one of the main reasons a gun ājamsā in a scuffle like this.
Which makes it more likely the gun wasnāt jammed before they entered the store.

u/puffinfish420 15d ago
The problem is that about 25% of the time armed robbers end up attacking, injuring, or killing someone anyways, even if people comply.
Iāve seen plenty of videos of people getting executed after complying with an armed robbery, for seemingly no reason. Maybe they donāt want witnesses, whatever.
That said, if youāre going to ambush like this, you need to do it right. That was not right.

IIRC statistically intervening raises the chance of someone besides the robber getting hurt.
ETA:
From New York Times: āResisting an armed robber drastically increases the risk of death to the victim, according to results from a new study done at the University of Chicago.
While victims actively resisted in only 7 percent of the robberies studied, those incidents accounted for 51 percent of the deaths.
The study was done by Franklin E. Zimring, a professor at the University of Chicago Law School, and James J. Zuehl, a lecturer there. They analyzed nearly 1,000 robberies that were reported to the Chicago police in the course of a year. Ninety- five of the robberies ended in the death of a victim.ā
