Two thugs thought they had an easy score when they saw a single man eating in his car in a Whataburger parking lot in Dallas, Texas. They were very, very wrong<\/a>.<\/p>\n Two armed robbers picked the wrong victim in northwest Dallas.<\/p>\n Police said they approached a man eating his dinner in the parking lot of Whataburger at Inwood Road and Lemmon Avenue and tried to rob him around 1 a.m.Thursday morning.<\/p>\n The man was an off-duty, but armed security guard. He shot and killed one of the robbers. The other ran away.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Armed robbers fully expect compliance. If a trained victim with a plan of action feigns compliance before suddenly and smoothly responding, they quite often overwhelm the criminals both physically and mentally.<\/p>\n In this instance, the security guard got shots on target quickly and killed one robber with accurate fire, forcing the other to flee for his life. A man believed to be the second suspect was quickly apprehended by police nearby.<\/p>\n Similar robbery attempts are something that we trained for during the Defense Against Street Crimes<\/a> class at Gunsite Academy last week. We learned how criminals think from two highly-experienced veteran police officers (Bob Whaley<\/a> and John Hutchison<\/a>), and how to respond to them in different scenarios. I\u2019ll be discussing more about the class (and showing some video from the training) later today.<\/p>\n If you have good training, have a plan in place, and practice realistically, criminals with little or no training will typically end up on the short end of the stick, even if they have the initial advantage.<\/p>\n Train to live.<\/p>\n
