    Default armed robbery in Branchville ...

    So my 16 year old son was walking home from his cousin's yesterday and noticed a man and woman following him. Anyhow, after 2 blocks the guy asks him what time it was. He stopped, pulled his phone out to check the time for the guy, and looked up to see a .38 pressed against his head. Stole his phone, a pack of gum, and his wallet with $7 in it. At 12:47. Middle of the day. Local cops did a good job catching the hood and his accomplice. My wife and i are going to get our cwp tomorrow. Enough is enough...

    It's a shame the cops caught him before he tried that stunt on the wrong CWP carrying individual.

    Hate to hear it, but I'm glad the they are off the street.

    I still keep putting it off to get my CWP. I think I will make an appointment here soon.

    No one asks for the time and really wants to know what time it is.

    Glad he is ok.

    Wish the coroner had to pick up the perps, instead of a police cruiser.

    Wow, glad your son was unharmed.

    Good to hear they caught the perps.

    How would having a CWP negate the .38 pressed to his head? Once it gets to that point, then he'd get the gun too. Would you just pull your gun on someone walking up to you to ask the time, regardless of how they appeared on the street. If they were innocent, you'd be the one in hot water in that situation. Sounds like a bad situation all around, one that a CWP carrier could have made worse had he attempted to pull his weapon.

    Glad the guy is OK, it does make you think though. Wouldn't think Branchville would have something like that though.

    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Echo Salty's sentiments.

    I wont be doing anything but what he asks if I am in a comprised, indefensible postion, i.e. gun to my head.

    I wont lose my life to have a nut hair's chance at taking his. Taking his, is what tomorrow is for.

    There's nothing the cwp would've done to circumvent this situation. However, this is not the first incident for us or in our town. I will be armed for here on out. The lawlessness is ridiculous. 1 month ago we had another thug hog tied in the middle of hwy 78. We caught him in the act of stealing a shotgun out of my neighbor's truck.

    You don't need a license to carry a gun.

    The point of my post is this. Times are hard. People are desperate and godless. The thugs are armed and dangerous. Arm yourself. Protect your loved ones. Embrace your God.

    Then you need to go to law school not an 8hr class that gives you the basics of what you need to know to lawfully carry.

    Looking down the barrel of a gun, that little card isn't going to do you a damn bit of good. And if by chance when he walks off with your shit and you shoot him in the back, your ass is going to jail for a long time.

    A visible well placed hand prior to answering any questions will let you know how serious he is and can be all the deterrent you need. They want something easy. Don't come across as easy.

    I understand this. I'd be more informed of the laws after the class than I am now.

    I know that card won't do a thing.
