The Time I Shot That Guy For Ruining My Slushie Purchase…

By Bob Owens

About a month ago I told you about the inaugural Defense Against Street Crimes Class I attended at Gunsite Academy. Several weeks ago, I also walked you through one of my force-on-force runs during the last day of class, where I got shot in the knee during an attempted carjacking.

That force-on-force scenario wasn’t my only force-on-force drill of the day, however.

After all, shooting a bad guy and then taking a round in the kneecap makes a guy really thirsty. It’s science.

So decided that I needed a slushie from the Gunsite Gas-N-Sip.

When I arrived at the “convenience store,” there was a clerk behind the counter and other customers shopping. I walked up to the counter, and asked the clerk seated there where the slushie machine was located.

Just as I was turning away from the counter to my left, one of the other other customers drew a gun from beneath his coat and revealed himself as an armed robber. He yelled at the clerk for the money in the cash register, and demanded that I give him my wallet (below).
