看过了很多CCW抓罪犯成功的报道, 这里也给个惨痛的失败案例以警醒枪友们。 我个人是不赞成去抓罪犯的,因为平民不像警察有法律授权并且在有法律麻烦时有整个警察系统为后援。平民抓罪犯时,如果罪犯开逃,平民是不能开枪的。这就是下面这个悲剧的原因。CCW平民已经把罪犯置于枪口的威慑之下在等警察到来,但罪犯根本不怕他,估计知道他不能开枪,所以就想退回车上逃跑,而这个平民一不能开枪,二又不想放罪犯跑掉,就拿着枪跟着罪犯,结果反被罪犯打死。所以对平民CCW,碰上犯罪,要么躲开,要么开枪射击,绝不能让自己处于一种和罪犯僵持的状态。

ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO — Two fugitives are on the run after fatally shooting an Army Vet who attempted to detain them after one of them held him at gunpoint at a Wells Fargo ATM. Both Matthew Chavez, 25, and Veronica Trimble, 22, are wanted in connection to the shooting death and attempted robbery of the victim.
According to the victim’s friend, who tried to back him up armed with only a knife, the victim attempted to do the honorable thing and hold the two robbers at gunpoint until police arrived. However, when the robber retreated to his car, the victim followed — and that’s precisely how he got shot and killed. His alleged murderer, Matthew Chavez, escaped in a car that was missing its license plate. It was later identified by police after he attempted to light it on fire to destroy evidence.
In the meantime, the friend of the victim recalled those final moments try to comfort him in his final moments laying on the deck of the parking lot.

“He fell to the ground,” Lackey’s friend said. “He said, ‘I’m hit.’ I had my hands under his head to keep him from choking on his blood. Then other people, other witnesses, came up and started helping out.”

It was actually surveillance video and confidential tips from the community that pointed law enforcement to the identities of the two suspects involved with this case.
“The case is still being investigated hard on a daily basis,” said officer Simon Drobik, a spokesman for the Albuquerque Police Department. “Obviously, he’s not in custody and she’s not in custody, but it’s not for a lack of trying.”
The victim had just gotten out of the Army and returned home to Albuquerque. He served a tour in Afghanistan as an airborne medic with the 82nd Airborne Division in Fort Bragg. This is a tragedy on so many levels.
It’s also a learning lesson.
If you’re ever in the situation where you have the upper hand on an armed robber, don’t mess around. Either let him retreat or use deadly force. Do not wait in the middle unless he absolutely complies with your request to stay put until police arrive. Even then, there’s so much this former Army Vet was trying to do right — but underestimating the viciousness of your enemy is the biggest sin in combat. It hurts to see a brother get taken out by trash. Hopefully, we can learn something from this and apply it to our own responsible concealed carry practices.
