Washington Self-Defense: Concealed Carrier Stops Bat Wielding Attacker in Walmart :: 04/15/2015

A Washington man found out that you don’t bring a baseball bat to a gunfight. A concealed carrier was able to defend himself from a man in a Walmart who grabbed a baseball bat and began to assault him in front of his children.

According to local media reports:

A 32-year-old man who was shopping with at least three children at a Yakima Wal-Mart was the victim of an unprovoked assault when a stranger picked up a metal tee-ball bat and struck him, according to Yakima police.

The victim was not injured, but he did have a concealed weapons permit, which he immediately put to use, police said.

A store security officer reported hearing a man in the sporting goods department yelling “Get on the ground!” and found one man pointing a pistol at another, who was lying on the floor.

Police arrived a short time later and arrested the 30-year-old suspect, who remains in Yakima County jail in lieu of $30,000 bail set Monday.

This incident is the most common type of defensive gun use. That is, one in which no shots were fired and no one was hurt.
