CCW IN ACTION: Armed 22-Year-Old Woman Stops Three Men Attempting To Rob Her In Store Parking Lot
A concealed carrier successfully thwarted the efforts of three men to rob her late at night outside a Dollar Tree. According to police reports from the scene, the woman was exiting the Dollar Tree and heading to her car when she was approached by a man and asked to walk with him. When she refused, he point-blank told her he was going to rob her of her purse.
At this point, according to KOCO, she was presented by two other men backing up the first. She withdrew her concealed carry pistol from her purse and threatened to use it to protect herself. All three men quickly exited and fled the scene.
Oklahoma police are obviously on the look-out but this is a clear example of it’s better to be prepared then to wait around for police to try to catch these criminals. Additionally, there is no way of knowing if her purse was their only objective. As such, it’s always better to stand up for yourself when possible — and flee whenever possible.
