Version: 4.0.47--><h2>Man Uses His Gun to Turn Tables on Robbers When They Come for Him at ATM<\/h2>\n<p>Two would-be robbers in San Antonio, Texas, quickly discovered they targeted the wrong man when their victim pulled out his own legally carried firearm and put an abrupt end to their nefarious plans.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Authorities in San Antonio told the media on Friday that a man using an ATM at a Chase Bank on the outskirts of the downtown area was confronted by the two men at about 1 p.m. that day, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/texas-man-shoots-kills-2-allegedly-defending-himself-atm-robbery-didnt-go-well-robbers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The targeted ATM user was parked next to a drive-up machine when two men skidded to a stop in front of him, jumped out of their car, and demanded his money.<\/p>\n<p>The intended victim, though, proved not to be a victim at all as he drew his own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/americans-rally-behind-indiana-mall-hero-gun-grabber-group-links-actions-vigilante-safety-net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">firearm<\/a> and quickly responded to the threat.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt was a robbery that didn\u2019t go well for the robbers,\u201d San Antonio Police Department Chief William McManus told the media in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/live\/?ref=watch_permalink&#038;v=1659674274474706\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">video statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The man, whose name has been withheld, fired at the attackers and killed them both.<\/p>\n<p>The two dead men were both in their 20s, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/portland-mayor-ted-wheeler-finally-condemns-anarchist-violence\/\" title=\"Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Finally Condemns \u2018Anarchist\u2019 Violence\">chief added<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re going to interview him further,\u201d McManus said of the intended victim. \u201cRight now, we\u2019re looking at him as the victim of a robbery who was acting in self-defense.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>It\u2019s all just another example of how the Second Amendment is best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-anti-gun-crowd-get-nasty-lesson-happens-guy-gun-dont\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">used<\/a> when it is used to protect a citizen from ne\u2019er-do-wells and criminals.<\/h3>\n<p>Liberals despise these many, many stories because they maintain that there is no such thing as a \u201cgood guy with a gun.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salon.com\/2019\/09\/07\/the-gun-lobbys-most-pernicious-myth-there-is-no-good-guy-with-a-gun\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Liberals claim<\/a> that anyone with a gun is a bad guy who is causing chaos and death everywhere he goes.<\/p>\n<p>But their plaintive cries against the Second Amendment are empty when we see story after story of people protecting themselves, their family, and their property against criminals.<\/p>\n<p>Just last week, for instance, a mother was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/violent-career-criminal-breaks-last-home-runs-armed-mama-bear-doesnt-hesitate-protect-children\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">protecting<\/a> her children in Louisiana when a convicted felon who was already on a rampage of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/treasury-secretary-yellen-claims-restricting-abortion-access-would-have-damaging-effects-on-americas-economy\/\" title=\"Treasury Secretary Yellen Claims Restricting Abortion Access Would Have \u2018Damaging Effects\u2019 On America\u2019s Economy\">law-breaking activities<\/a> tried to force his way into her home.<\/p>\n<p>In another case of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/man-uses-his-gun-to-turn-tables-on-robbers-when-they-come-for-him-at-atm\/\" title=\"Man defends himself with gun when robbers target him at ATM.\">brave woman protecting<\/a> her family, an Arkansas woman drew her legally carried firearm when a pair of attackers set upon her husband in a Little Rock parking garage. The mom used her firearm to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/attack-family-arkansas-parking-garage-stopped-cold-pregnant-woman-opens-fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shoot one of the attackers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Western Journal has reported on stories like these dozens of times over the years, such as the story from 2018 when a good guy with a gun saw a police officer in trouble and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/good-guy-with-a-gun-steps-in\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">quickly responded<\/a> to help an officer in Utah who needed assistance.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, a Florida man <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/good-guy-gun-saves-mom-2-alleged-armed-home-invaders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">used his firearm<\/a> to protect himself against a pair of home invaders.<\/p>\n<p>Then in 2022 a man was able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/good-guy-gun-legal-carrier-stops-mall-shooter-almost-soon-began\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stop another man<\/a> intent on mass murder at a mall in Indiana and was praised for putting a quick end to what could have been a greater loss of life.<\/p>\n<p>The data is conclusive. As <a href=\"https:\/\/fee.org\/articles\/guns-prevent-thousands-of-crimes-every-day-research-show\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fee.org<\/a> writer Lawrence W. Reed reported in 2019, \u201cGuns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year, or 6,849 every day.\u201d And the NRA added that numbers from Dr. John Lott\u2019s Crime Prevention Research Center show that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/articles\/20221017\/cprc-fbi-wrong-armed-citizens-stopped-at-least-34-of-active-shooter-attacks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">34 percent<\/a> of \u201cactive shooter\u201d attacks are stopped or limited by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/attack-on-family-in-arkansas-parking-garage-stopped-cold-as-pregnant-woman-opens-fire\/\" title=\"Pregnant woman stops attack on family in Arkansas parking garage with gunfire.\">legal gun owners responding<\/a> to a shooting.<\/p>\n<p>This story could easily have gone in another direction, one where the man at the ATM would have been robbed and traumatized by criminals or, if he was not armed, even killed himself during an attack by the superior numbers he was facing.<\/p>\n<p>But, instead, we see another \u201cgood guy with a gun\u201d story who saved his property and protected himself from attackers.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/man-uses-gun-turn-tables-robbers-come-atm\/\">Man Uses His Gun to Turn Tables on Robbers When They Come for Him at ATM<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two robbers in San Antonio, Texas, realized their mistake when their intended victim, legally armed, thwarted their plans at a Chase Bank ATM.
