Good guy with a gun stops a bad guy from kidnapping a 6 year old

Good Samaritan Stops Kidnapping With Gun
“If I didn’t have a firearm, I don’t think there’s much I could have done.”

On October 5, a vigilant Las Vegas resident, Justin Pearson, noticed a BMW zooming through his neighborhood and abruptly stopping in front of a neighbor’s house where a 6-year-old boy was playing in the front yard. As Pearson watched in horror, the driver quickly hopped out of the vehicle and grabbed the boy. While the kidnapper’s height was similar to his own (over 6 feet), Pearson could see that the man had a much larger build — Pearson would not be able to take him on pound for pound.

As the Las Vegas Journal Review notes, “Fortunately, Pearson had a trump card — a Heckler & Koch VP9 pistol legally resting on his right hip.”

 

This time, Justin did not even have to unholster his gun; he simply brandished it, and in that action, he prevented a young boy from being kidnapped. He shouted at the kidnapper and showed him his holstered gun. The distraction gave the young boy enough time to jump out of the car.

“If I didn’t have a firearm, I don’t think there’s much I could have done,” Pearson said.

It took local police 17 minutes to arrive on the scene. A Metropolitan Police Department spokeswoman confirmed to the Review Journal the details of Mr. Pearson’s story and revealed that the would-be kidnapper was the biological father who did not have parental rights to take the child.

Time is of the essence – Pearson was there and law enforcement was not.  The kidnapper probably would have won a fight, according to him.  Would Pearson have made the decision to physically engage knowing he might get his head beat in?  Even to save that boy?  Dunno.  Dunno if he knows.  But a firearm served as a Power equalizer – something that the Democrats have been screaming about over the Weinstein and the other bullies that have tormented women for decades in Hollywood. Imagine if one or two of those ladies had been packing?  This whole Hollywood scandal might never have happened, especially if the “No means no” was backed up with a big BANG and a couple new orifices in the dirtbag.
