Armed Civilian Stops “Michael Myers” Knife Attack In Restaurant

About this video

Colion breaks down a reported defensive gun use incident at a California barbecue restaurant where a civilian with a concealed carry permit shot and stopped a knife-wielding man who was advancing on patrons. He argues this case demonstrates the value of armed self-defense, particularly noting that an off-duty law enforcement officer was present but did not intervene, and that the incident occurred in a state with strict gun control laws that Colion says would not have prevented the threat.

Key takeaways

• Colion emphasizes that the armed civilian gave commands and showed restraint before firing, only shooting when the knife-wielding man continued advancing despite warnings
• Colion points out that the defender likely could only carry legally due to the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision, which he says forced California to issue permits more broadly
• Colion argues that an off-duty officer was present but did not stop the threat, countering what he describes as anti-gun arguments that dismiss defensive gun uses involving people with law enforcement backgrounds
• Colion contends that California’s strict gun laws did not prevent the knife threat, and that only an armed citizen stopped what he characterizes as a potential mass casualty event
