Don't bring a knife to a gunfight: Motorcyclist in Springs turns the tables

They say never to bring a knife to a gunfight.
Such was the case Wednesday night in unincorporated El Paso County.
Three men who reportedly tried to rob a motorcyclist at knifepoint got a big surprise when the motorcyclist hit one of the men and then pulled out a gun.
The motorcyclist had pulled over in the 3800 block of Marksheffel Road about 6:25 p.m. to add another layer of clothing, sheriff's spokesman Lt. Jeff Kramer said.
Three men who appeared between 19 and 20 years old pulled up behind him in a black Honda Accord. Two of the men got out of the car and demanded the motorcyclist's money. One of the men was armed with a knife, Kramer said.
The motorcyclist didn't comply with their demands.
Instead, he punched the knife-wielding man and then pulled out a handgun, which he was lawfully carrying, Kramer said.
The suspects ran back to the car and sped away, Kramer said.
No arrests have been made, and the investigation is ongoing, he said.

You would think the NSA could track the robbers by their cell phone signals, I wonder if they looked like Obama? And yeah I love it when bad guys get shot to death...

[muddywings]

Good for him!!! Buttttt....technically wouldn't that be standing your ground? Which we all now know is BAD now that POTUS said so!! (Granted he didn't shoot)

[sniper7]

They are pretty damn lucky he didn't shoot them

They are pretty damn lucky he didn't shoot them

Its almost a damn shame he didn't as they are likely to rob someone else again and will probably graduate to carrying a gun of their own.

Some people are such POS! And people wonder why you carry! Cant Fing do anything anymore! Good for him!

Shame the Police didnt get em

This! What happened to criminal bravado, and lunging at the guy to impress your homies? Give the man a REASON to shoot your banger ass, for God's sake. Take one for the team, biatch!

By not shooting those crooks, he failed to save other people from becoming victims.

I'd like to think they would think twice about pulling a similar stunt again after having a gun pulled on them.

Unfortunately, that's probably not the case. I doubt they are very intelligent.

We need to ban stand your ground laws... those youths could have been killed! lol In all seriousness, I think a lot of gun owners rethink situations since Zimmerman. They don't want to give fellow gun owners a bad name, don't want to end up on trial, and still don't want to be buried.

[HoneyBadger]

Mixed thoughts on this. Having never pulled a gun on anyone, I really can't say for sure how good my decision-making would be in that situation. I would like to think that if I have to draw on someone then I am about to shoot them because they are an immediate threat. If they turn and start running, there is not a lot you can do. I would love to empty some rounds into the back of their car, but that is just begging for legal trouble.

Poetic justice would have been the car getting hammered by a semi while trying to get away because they weren't paying attention.

[OtterbatHellcat]

Poetic justice would be great.


Karma really should catch up with shit bags.
