Concealed Carry Saves Janitor’s Life

Concealed Carry Saves Janitor's Life - TheArmsGuide.com

April 22, 2017 by Kevin 4 Comments

Guns can save lives. A Milwaukee janitor survived an attack by three violent youths earlier this month, with the aid of a concealed carry firearm.

Two teenagers, a 17-year-old female and a 19-year-old male, and a 20-year old male, attacked the janitor of an apartment complex janitor while he was on the job. Allegedly, the altercation began with a verbal confrontation and escalated with the 19-yr-old grabbed the janitor from behind and held him in a chokehold while the female beat the janitor with a souvenir baseball bat.

According to the report, the janitor drew his concealed carry pistol—a .40 cal handgun—and shot the female attacker in the chest as she struck at him. He then shot the teen choking him. Unfortunately for the youths, neither teen survived the incident. The 20-yr-old male wasn’t harmed.

After being released from the hospital (for injuries related to the mini-baseball bat beating), the janitor was initially jailed under the suspicion of first degree murder. However, neither he nor the surviving assailant have been charged. The janitor has been released with the statement from the district attorney that the janitor’s employment of his concealed carry firearm were justifiable “to prevent death or great bodily harm to himself.”

    They carry mini “Louisville Sluggers” because it acts like a Blackjack/Slapjack/Baton that is very easily concealed. You can literally bludgeon someone to death with one of those with very little effort. It is a tool that some gang members employ, another is the mini crowbar, as it holds that same function, except the claw of it is even more effective, and it can be used to break into things. Also, those little Louisville Sluggers are used to gain access into automobiles by forceful entry. When they get stopped, it’s a “Souvenir” or “I was taking this home” so they do not get charged with Carrying a concealed Deadly Weapon, as the police do not realize it is being used as a weapon.

    Great story regarding the successful thwarting of a multiple perp attack (honestly you sleep in the bed that you make so no sympathy here for the perps). Now if the pizza delivery guys etc. could do likewise “legally” absent the threat of termination we could say we are making significant progress…
