Prime example of how guns do save lives!! love to see it. glad he had his firearm, or he would have been stabbed to death!
This was my husband who got stabbed.This man stabbed him 5 times! They are definitely life-threatening.
What are either one of them doing with a weapon at work?
It is a rest area u never know what might happen to you there especially if u are working at night. No worse than having mace on your key chain “at work “ 😂😂
Glad he had his weapon on him to protect himself . It is a highway rest area and they arrested him could have turned out worse.
