Open carry is legal in Missouri, and the victim in this incident had every right to be carrying his AR-15. But this is one of the reasons why I don't open carry. In my opinion, it puts a target on your back.
I saw this video posted on a Facebook Group today. The incident occurred in 2019, but I hadn't heard it before. And maybe you haven't either. But this is a perfect example of the saying, "No one is coming to save you."
A Washington man was attempting to recover stolen vehicles and property. But the recovery turned into a self-defense shooting when the car thief tried to run him over.
