Coleman, 21, was talking to his cousin in the 17200 block of NE Glisan St., after purchasing the handgun earlier that day, when a young man asked him for a cigarette, police said.
The man then asked about the gun, pulled a gun from his own waistband and said “”I like your gun. Give it to me.”
Coleman handed over the gun and the man fled on foot.
The suspect is thin a black male, between 19 and 23 years old, clean cut with a small patch of facial hair on his chin, and short black wavy hair.
He is roughly six feet tall, wearing grey sweatpants, a white T-Shirt and flip-flop sandals.

Yet another reason to put your shirt over your carry piece.

I've always thought the open carry thing was stupid unless you're in a rural area or something that would warrant it.

Walking around in a Target or Walmart OC'ing is just pointless. Just put your freaking shirt over it!!!

As I have said for a long time, if you make the decision to carry a firearm, one had best be prepared for what it may bring.
OC adds a dimension that is often unwanted.


Guys lucky he didn't get capped with his own piece.

...and if you're going to open carry, why would you be carrying a .22? And why in hell would you give it to some jackhole that showed you a gun in his belt? I don't understand why he would carry if he wasn't willing to defend himself.

I would gladly surrender a gun or any other possession if I thought it reasonably increased my odds of living. That's a really tough judgement call to make on the spot when someone else is threatening you with their gun.
