But, since I don't carry my 9 with me that wouldn't have worked anyway.
This is true, I give the driver credit for luring the idiots to a place where HIS back was against the wall so to speak. By doing this in my opinion enabled him to pull his weapon legally. Taking the camera was also a good thing for evidence if anything should come up later. I had a similar incident happen to me in my Roadster Limited. I was in a bad section of Richmond and was approached by 4 men/youths, they said that they were going to take my car. At this point my back was physically against the wall of a building. One of the idiots pulled out a telescopic baton I in turn drew my .45 ACP (which I carry all the time) the look on their faces was priceless. With that said I am now the proud owner of a telescopic baton.
