Two Men Attack An Armed Veteran – The Veteran Shows That Guns Keep Society Safer (Video)

How many lives are actually saved by gun ownership? This is a supremely important question that the grandstanders and ideologues usually—and conveniently—ignore.

Dramatic video shows two men assaulting a security guard outside a McDonald’s in Chicago. What that security guard did just moments into the attack has sent the footage viral.

The security guard is a war veteran and the attackers didn’t expect to face someone who know how to handle heat!

The video shows two men approach the security guard outside a McDonald’s in downtown Chicago. The men slam the security guard against a wall and begin striking him.

About six seconds into the attack, as the two men continue to pummel the victim, the security guard reaches toward his waistband. As the fight moves out of frame, one of the assailants suddenly starts running away from the fight.

Suddenly, people inside the restaurant begin screaming, “No! No!”

The reason for the screams? The veteran was armed — and turned the tables by pulling his concealed firearm.

Video below:

I checked online and found some fascinating numbers. A good website with footnotes and references to authoritative sources is GunFacts.info. There I learned the following:

Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year, or 6,849 every day. Most often, the gun is never fired, and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.
Every year, 400,000 life-threatening violent crimes are prevented using firearms.
60 percent of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they knew the victim was armed. Forty percent of convicted felons admitted that they avoided committing crimes when they thought the victim might be armed.
Felons report that they avoid entering houses where people are at home because they fear being shot.
Fewer than 1 percent of firearms are used in the commission of a crime.

If you doubt the objectivity of the site above, it’s worth pointing out that the Center for Disease Control, in a report ordered by President Obama in 2012 following the Sandy Hook Massacre, estimated that the number of crimes prevented by guns could be even higher—as many as 3 million annually, or some 8,200 every day.

Guns keep society safer!

So people watch this man getting beat up pretty bad and have nothing to say, it’s as if it’s normal. But, he pulls out the gun and…. suddenly they worry and say nooooo. This world is sick and anyone with half a brain know no one cares about you and o one is coming to save you except you.
F around and Find out people. He felt his life was in danger and didn’t pull out the hand gun till some time afterwards so, don’t cry about expected outcomes. This is the price thugs pay to be thugs, it comes with the job.

Yep, you’re right. Totally invalidated due to timeframe. Sarcasm.

Seriously? We’re going to justify hate….indifference…..lack of humanity….on “this video was posted years ago”?

it’s evident 5 or 6 years ago as it is now….people need to value each other….need to have a heart of compassion….need Christ in their lives.

why excuse hate? Everyone likes to say “context” as well…..so assaulting an older man by two young men is justifiable….we need context? Insanity.

why isn’t anyone praising the trigger discipline from this older vet? He valued their life….even though they didn’t value his.

like I said, we all need Christ.

Valued their life ???? Bull Schiff ! He just didn’t want to go through the “He was Such a good boy” junk and then put up with liberal prosecutors trying to make a name for themselves with the Black community by lynching him after he shot the thugs.
But he did the right thing by showing their cowardice ! Two on one and young thugs on an older person isn’t so endearing to the thugs when it winds up that they may have more holes in their bodies than Nature provided.

that man showed so much restraint not shooting them both. What does it say about who was inside the building that they were fine with what was happening until the attackers were in peril?

If everyone in the inner city has a CCW, it would be a different place. Think About it.

Funny how you heard the yells “No, NO, NO,NO NO…..”when the citizen drew his weapon. I didn’t hear any calls for “No, NO…..or stop” when these punks were attacking this man. You didn’t have to guess what the punks were either! Glad to see the white man was armed. None of the stalwart citizens around came to his aid with the street scum!

Exactly what I was thinking. If he did shoot the perps in clear case of self defense, I wonder what those slack jawed witnesses would have said about the “poor Black victims of racism”? They would lie like rugs.

This may be a veteran, but it appears he is a security guard. His weapon was not concealed as you can see it on his right hip just before they drag him out of view.
