Letter from a marine.

 

Colin,

 

Does one have the right to defend oneself in this situation?

I was faced with a very similar situation in Oakland at Lake Merritt back in 2004.

I’m a veteran of 23 years service in the Marine Corps. I’m not insinuating this gives me any special privilege; it does give me over 20 years of experience on handling firearms.

I was taking my daily walk around the lake and I saw a group of teenagers (7-8) approaching me. It was just starting to get dark. As they got closer I could hear them talking and they were discussing what they were going to do (to me as it turned out).

At first, I really wasn’t paying much attention as I was just trying to get my walk in. At some point as they got closer I realized they were actually talking about me and how they were going to beat my head in and take my wallet.

I happen to be a CCW holder. I started making eye contact, they were about 10 feet away at this point, and pulled my t-shirt back to expose my pistol on my hip and put my hand on it.

One of them noticed and shouted “the white boy has a gun” and they ran off like scared rats.

I do not advocate vigilante justice in any way, shape or form. In this particular case, a gun saved me from major injury and being a victim and I didn’t even have to pull it out of it’s holster.

I submit this guy was in even a worse position than I having his child with him. Not only was he hurt, his child could have been hurt/killed. If this guy had some sort of weapon, he may not have got hurt. Mace, a knife or a pistol he might not have been injured.

I also submit this is a situation where this man’s life(and his child) was in serious danger. 20 people beating on you can be fatal.
