CPL holder shoots armed robbers after being mugged

CPL holder shoots armed robbers after being mugged

DETROIT - Another robbery victim fights back after he's targeted at a Detroit bus stop. The 23-year-old had officially become a Concealed Pistol License holder a couple of weeks ago and after what happened Sunday night - it was just in time.

Tremain, who doesn't want to be identified because his family fears retaliation, says his brother had just finished work and was waiting for the bus at Schaefer and West Outer Drive on the west side when three teens confronted him.

One pulled out a gun and demanded his money.

"They threatened him and told him if he moved they were going to blow him which is a term for I'm going to kill or shoot you if you move," Tremaine said. "And that's what ended up happening."

In January 2014 the Detroit chief of police told the city citizens to arm themselves as a deterrent to crime.

I watched a thread on one of these DGUs last week and there was a hard core contingent that felt the person that defended themselves was at fault for the violence because the mugger, "just pulled a gun, he didn't shoot anyone".

There was no real violence until the concealed carrier shot the robber.

An extension of the "just give them the money, that's all they want" crowd.

That was just too twisted and a long trip to Fantasyland for comment.

as to who the victim was in this incident. I did not ever get an explicit answer {in GD before it was locked}, which is telling in and of itself.
