So wouldn't that make this a case of felony assault and robbery?

If you have a concealed weapon permit you better damn well conceal your weapon or this will happen to you no matter what color you are. Nothing racist about this idiocy.

blue vein steel - 2015-01-24 i guarantee you that if it was a middle aged, fat white guy, with a shoulder holster pressed into the fat rolls of his too small American flag short-sleeved button-up, underneath his NASCAR jacket in the victims place, this would never have happened, especially not the continued restraint after, i'm sure, the victim was yelling that he had a permit.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2015-01-24 Definitely, the guy's an idiot. What KIND of idiot he happens to be is immaterial.
It's hard for me to imagine a black jumping to this kind of conclusion about a white guy, or a white guy jumping to this kind of conclusion about another white guy. But I guess that's because I'm a racist.

The attacker is facing assault chargers. And the few gun right's blogs I went to covering this are all on the side of the gun owner--suppose I suspected differently?
Yahoo's take is on the vigilante aspect:

Mother Jone's take is about the implied racism:

It's a shame the man didn't stand his ground and shoot the bad guys attacking him.

It could have been worse. It could have been a lot worse.
The gun owner could easily have killed that guy. If that guy had a weapon of his own, he may just as easily have decided to pull it on the gun owner.
Could have been very nasty indeed.

Being attacked for walking around with a gun is why everyone NEEDS to carry a gun. This NEVER would have happened if the victim was armed.

SteamPoweredKleenex - 2015-01-24 If only he'd had a gun.
And hadn't been black. You'd think being 62 years old would be enough, but noooooo...
