ccw holder steps in and gets LUCKY...

[sheep dog]

This could have played out way differently for the good samaritan. Would any of you act in the same manner as this guy? What would you have done (or not done) pulling up to this situation as a ccw holder?

That guy was damm lucky. Not the smartest move on his part.

Pull up see crime call police. Pray everything works out OK.

Yeah that was a gamble to say the least...

Unless my life, or someone else's life is in danger, I am just going to try to get as much info as possible to help catch the crooks.

We don't know enough about the good Samaritan to say whether or not he made a good call. He may have had great training and knew exactly what he was doing. I'm glad he had the balls to step in and try to help, but I also hope he had the skill to handle whatever the outcome.

Personally, I don't think engaging three armed robbers by yourself is ever really a smart move. It's ballsy for sure, but unless I see people getting mowed down and killed I'm not intervening. It's not worth the risk to yourself, as well as those employees, for a few hundred dollars.

Man! I've always thought out scenarios in which me or me and my family are caught in a situation and how will I get ourselves out of it. I've never considered what to do if I walk up on a situation that's ready happening. Good food for thought. Glad it turned out well in this case.

Not what I would have done... call 911 and be a good witness from what I read. Maybe if they shot one of the employees it would be a different story, but possibly getting killed to save AutoZone a few bucks doesn't make sense.

I'd agree, call the police and monitor, if they started shooting people I might step in. I suspect if they've started shooting your chances of controlling the situation would be low though.

There was clearly a better way to handle this situation...
