INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA — Indianapolis police are describing it as a botched robbery, but one gunowner is likely thankful that he remembered to carry his handgun.

Around noon, the victim was attempting to fill up his gas tank at a local gas station when a robber attempted to take his possessions and threaten him. He wrestled with the robber and it was then that the robber’s getaway driver kicked his car into gear and hit the victim from behind.
