Bar Patrons Tackle Armed Robber Who Held Them At Gun Point

By Tom Knighton

There’s just something awesome about a story where the victims turn the tables on the criminal, at least to me. As a Second Amendment writer, I love to hear about the good guys pulling their guns and taking down the bad guys, but truth be told, it doesn’t have to be like that to make me happy. Even cases of people taking on bad people without a firearm give me a warm tingly feeling, though I’d prefer they be armed for their own safety.

However, in California, being armed is easier said than done in many cases, which may be why no one in this bar had a firearm handy.

FALLBROOK, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say patrons tackled and disarmed a man after he held them at gunpoint outside a Southern California bar.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports sheriff’s officials say the man had pulled a gun from his waistband and pointed it at people in the parking lot outside Red Eye Saloon at 2 a.m. Saturday in Fallbrook.

He demanded their wallets and cellphones and fired a shot into the air.

Authorities say several patrons rushed and tackled the gunman, holding him on the ground until deputies arrived.
