Good for him. A lawfully-armed citizen in action. I hope the perp learned his lesson because if it wasn't for the restraint shown by the CCer, he'd be pushin' up daisies right about now.
Kent County, MI, man accused of assault, ethnic intimidation Approached his victim in a store in a rural part of Kent County, MI, used ethnic slurs, which the victim ignored, at which point he pulled a knife on him. The store manager intervened. The attacker left the store, but returned to finish his shopping, saw that his victim was still there, and went after him again, still holding his knife. This time the victim pulled his "legally carried pistol" and held off the attacker while he (the victim) left the store.
He showed a tremendous amount of restraint, and was able to exit the scene without firing a shot.

That scumbag with the knife is very lucky that he didn't get himself shot.
The concealed carrier was justified to use deadly force when the suspect pulled a knife on him i.m.h.o.

I doubt the perp learned anything. He's already a three-time loser; this is strike four. If anything, he's going to blame a member of another ethnic group for sending him back to the big house. On the plus side, he faces life in prison as a habitual offender.Originally Posted by B2Tall

The entire incident is full of fail in my opinion.

You think the CCer should have shot him??
One thing I would have done is call the police after the first incident. I also would have produced my firearm the first time around as well.

Interesting..... That is exactly what this person was able to do. He backed his attacker off and effected an escape without firing a shot. While you can argue that he should have pulled his firearm earlier, or that the police should have been notified earlier, the fact is that he did exactly what you say is the ideal - he avoided the need to survive a conflict.

Plus side? Now the tax payers get to pay to lock him up to the tune of about 40K per year. Hopefully he gets shanked sooner than later. That would be the real plus.
He should of put 2 in his chest and called it a day, now our tax dollars have to pay for this jerkoff to live tax free in jail. I myself would of dropped the dirtbag but I will never know how I would react until I am in that type of situation.
