Robber faced down. (Exercising the Right).

On March 19th, an unidentified woman had just stopped at an intersection in Warren, Michigan, when a man approached and jerked open the driver's side door. She could not see the object that he pressed against her jaw, but believed it to be a gun. He ordered her to give him money, but rather than submit, she fought back, struggling with him as he continued to demand cash.

Unbeknownst to the bandit, his would be victim had a permit to carry a concealed firearm. As reported in the March 28th Macomb Daily of Mount Clemens, Missouri, "Determined not to become a robbery statistic, the woman reached ... to the passenger seat for her 9 mm handgun, grabbed the pistol and pointed it at his face." According to police reports, she told him, "If you're going to shoot me then do it, [be]cause I'm definitely going to kill you." She did not have to carry out her threat, however, as the would-be robber then fled in fear.

Shaken by the harrowing experience, the woman waited until March 25th to report the botched holdup to authorities. She believed that by the time she had regained her composure it was too late to file a complaint, but when she noticed two Warren patrolmen investigating a vehicle theft on her block that day, she approached them to report the incident.
