KALAMAZOO -- A Kalamazoo man was able to turn an attempted attack around because of his concealed weapons permit.

Police in Kalamazoo County say 32-year-old Brian Smith was approached by two men in their 20s as he was entering his home early Friday morning.

The two asked for directions, and one of them pulled a gun. Smith was able to reach his revolver and fired two rounds, hitting one of the men in the hand.

One suspect was arrested after he sought medical attention. The other is still on the loose.

I was amazed at the positive manner in which this excellent example of legal self defense was portrayed by our local news media! I also hope that this guy's CCW instructor is proud of him.

Please also like to note that according to the Department of Justice, asking for directions is one of the top 3 ways a bad guy distracts a potential victim. The other 2 are: Can I use your phone, and Do you know what time it is.
