California’s criminal element increasingly relies on the “safety in numbers” mantra to carry out what are often brazen—and successful—jewelry store heists.
The idea is to rush the business with up to a dozen or more masked thieves and overwhelm employees while making off with possibly millions in loot. Anaheim Police Department Sgt. Matt Sutter told local media that it is a “trend” to have “more than a dozen people” attack the location and intimidate the employees.
One Anaheim jewelry store owner, however, turned the tables on his attackers.
Businesses increasingly rely on the Second Amendment for protection from the criminal element
The owner of Al-Amira Jewelry keeps a loaded pistol on the premises to augment the bulletproof glass that encases his establishment. His preparations paid priceless dividends recently when at least half a dozen vehicles sped into the parking lot and a wave of masked and hooded perpetrators poured out.
The crooks used a sledgehammer and a pickaxe to break through the front door, but that’s when their trouble started.
Violent mob clearly did not expect armed resistance
The owner was hardly intimidated by what must have been a frightening sight. That’s because he was armed and prepared to utilize his Second Amendment rights to protect what he worked hard for, and a single shot sent the mob scurrying back to the vehicles and away.
The unidentified owner told reporters that he could not count how many people rushed into his store.
“In this moment, I think just one thing, to defend myself, my employee, my store, and my family business,” he declared. “I did it for one thing, to protect my business, my employee, I have to shoot, I do one shot to scare first.”
Security footage showed that one shot did the trick. Attorney Mohammad Abuershaid told the media that his client “reasonably believed that they were trying to come in to harm himself or his family, his business. So, he fired a warning shot to make sure that nobody got in.”
