Wait, I thought the only way to stop a bad man with a gun was a good man with a gun.
KOIN reports:
A man practicing his open carry right was robbed of the gun he was openly carrying. William Coleman III was robbed of his Walther-brand P22 just after 2 a.m. Oct. 4 in Gresham, Ore., by a young man who asked him for it — and flashed his own weapon as persuasion. 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.I guess this makes it official: Oregon is the new Arizona!

I was robbed at gunpoint four blocks from home in downtown Chicago on Christmas Eve. So many people I've talked to have said I should have had a gun myself. It probably would have gotten me killed. I'm amused by how many people think carrying a gun makes you safer.
More "ammo" for the NY Daily News.
