Robbed at gun point in HIRAM

It does bring up a good point, if you are by yourself are you more willing to comply? With your wife or kids, are you willing to fight and defend more than comply or is it the opposite way around?

he left the ATM in hiram, proceeded through the backroads ( i dont know the exact name, sorry?) passed the fire house over the silver comet trail, all of those roads cross and the car came from behind him and pulled over. this was at 1 in the morning, was NOT on 278, so if you want to call BS go ahead, this site is full of great people why would i make this up? just trying to give local guys around me a heads up.

wonder why he was at the atm at 1 am

we should all train for this scenario...and ones we hear about on a daily basis..how could that have been prevented? how could i stop eminent danger?..would leaving a car length in front of another car been sufficient for an escape route? would firing at one or two prevent your death or injury? would ACTION of VIOLENCE be the proper outcome for mind set of defense instead of offense?.. Train for this and the use of Violence of Action..four guys or ten..this is why we conceal carry and train for this!

I agree 100%. One of the things that often gets overlooked in "training" is staying out of, exiting as soon as possible, troubling situations.

The first way to avoid this would have been to practice the golden rule of Gunfu.....choose to live a life of avoidance and de-escalation. As a previous poster stated, choosing to withdraw money at an ATM in the wee hours of the morning is literally the same as looking for a cool drink at the watering hole while the lions circle about. Can you do it and not get assaulted? Sure...if the lions have had their fill for the day. But sooner or later you will be required to ante up.

Secondly, it pays to remember that situational awareness applies all the tims, and you cannot slip into the white just because you are behind the locked door of a building, vehicle.... Had the victim recognized the blocking car's actions soon enough, he could have drove around, through, over the half assed goon squad and got away before any of them had time to exit their vehicles and get their guns rolling. Assuming your only weapon is the one on your side, and forgetting the 3000 pound bullet you are driving could be a result of focusing too much gun handling, and not enough on comprehensive self defense.

Everybody wants to train with their gun. Shooting is fun. Many other of the aspects of the self defense package are expensive or just suck. Driver's training is pricey. Functional fitness and heavy hands combat require a love of the suck that many are just too unwilling to embrace. Sitting through a session where the focus in on the greatest self defense tool...the mind...is not hooah enough. The price paid for such choices is finding yourself in a situation where your only thought is how do I get my gun into play, and hope that I prevail. Or should I just sit it out and let the situation unfold, and hope that it works out ok? As a great man once said, "Hope is not a strategy." As always, YMMV.

my best guess would be the people who robbed him where the intended recipients of the cash

Love the sig line! Hope to be able to add it to my profile one day.

I would have fired only one shot and that would be enough. Because I would have curved the bullet and it would go around and penetrate all 4 guys. I saw it in a movie so its possible!

just got news a buddy of mine was robbed at gun point last night in hiram. he was at a 4 way stop in front of hiram elementary when a car blocked him in front and truck in the rear. 4 guys gout out of car came to his car with guns drawn. said they seen him at the ATM, he handed over the money and they ran. just a heads up fellas in the area

Why would you go to an atm at 1am or get boxed in , always leave yourself an out for defensive driving purposes at the least. My 350 horses would have become a battering ram also while mag dumping since lately its give me your money & still get shot.

You don't even have to hit anybody with that setup. After a few shots, everyone will be down on the ground clutching their bleeding ears.
