He Didn't Even Have to Fire the Gun

Pleasant Hill consignment-store worker scares off robbers with gun. Really more of a jewelry store specializing in estate items than a consignment store.

One old guy with a gun, versus five robbers with at least a sledgehammer. They decided that robbing the store was a bad idea.

I suppose that the gun hating part of the Left would say that he should just give these five guys, and their female scout, all his hard earned cash and valuables.

After a worker screams, [73-year-old Albert] Marcu makes his way to the jewelry section, as do the intruders. That is when Marcu pulls out his .38-caliber revolver.

The group scatters out of the shop and climbs into two Infiniti Q50s. Almost immediately, a Pleasant Hill police cruiser pulled up right behind the vehicles.

Despite cops being right their as they started to drive away, they were not caught. Cops were there because one of the vehicles was stolen and had been spotted by a license plate reader.

"I have a message for all business owners, to take example and fight for themselves, because if you don’t fight for yourself, nobody will," Marcu said.

These guys were younger than Mr. Marcu. There were five of them. One of them had a sledgehammer. We don't know if anyone else was armed. He was able to prevail because he was armed.

This is the Active Self Protection video 73-Year Old Shop Owner Stops 5 Armed Robbers Cold. It is a 7 minute breakdown of the surveillance video. It is worth a look.

  1. The robbers will almost certainly be back....next time they'll be armed...and will shoot first.
