Florida Man Uses Backup Gun to Shoot Robber After Primary Gun is Stolen

ESCAMBIA COUNTY, FL — A fatal shooting at Forest Creek Apartments in Escambia County, Florida, has been ruled a “Stand Your Ground” case by Sheriff Chip Simmons. The incident occurred on Friday at around 5:45 p.m., when a confrontation between two men escalated into an armed robbery.

According to the local news media, one man robbed the other of a gun during a heated argument. The robbery victim then drew a second gun and shot the robber, who later died at the hospital. Sheriff Simmons stated that surveillance footage and interviews corroborate the shooter’s self-defense claim.

The shooter, who contacted the authorities after leaving the scene, cooperated fully with the investigation. No charges are anticipated against him at this time.

This case raises questions about the practicality of carrying a backup gun, a topic previously discussed on USA Carry. It remains unclear how the robber knew the victim was armed, given that open carry is illegal in Florida. This incident highlights the importance of being prepared and considering all aspects of self-defense, including the potential benefits of carrying a backup firearm.
