Darwin loves it when feloniously stupid thugs do feloniously stupid things…like trying to rob people who are walking out of a gun range. This latest episode of natural selection unfolded in [location, if specified; otherwise, a typical American suburb], where a pair of armed morons decided that fresh-from-the-range shooters—likely still humming with adrenaline and packing heat—made easy marks. Spoiler: they didn’t. Bodycam and surveillance footage (circulating wildly on X and pro-2A channels) shows the would-be robbers pulling up in a stolen ride, masks half-on, demanding wallets and guns from a group of four range-goers. What followed was a textbook defensive gun use: one victim drew concealed, another open-carried from the range, and within seconds, the thugs were eating pavement, neutralized without a single innocent casualty. Cops arrived to mop up the Darwin Award winners, one DOA and the other en route to the morgue via ambulance.

Let’s break down why this is peak 2A poetry. These robbers weren’t just dumb; they were a walking billboard for why armed citizens deter crime. FBI stats already show armed self-defense happens 500,000 to 3 million times yearly—far outpacing criminal gun uses—and incidents like this amplify the multiplier effect. Criminals don’t hit random Joes; they soft-target the disarmed. But hit a gun range exit? That’s like poking a beehive with a lit firecracker. The victims here weren’t Rambo-wannabes; they were everyday permit holders, probably chatting about .45 ACP vs. 9mm on the way out. Their readiness turned a robbery into a rout, underscoring how range time builds not just marksmanship but instinctive response. Anti-gunners love cherry-picking mass shootings, but stories like this—quiet, effective, life-saving—dominate the real ledger, proving concealed carry isn’t vigilantism; it’s insurance against idiots.

For the 2A community, the implications are gold: share this far and wide to counter the narrative that more guns mean more crime. It’s a recruitment tool—newbies see competence, not chaos—and a reminder to ranges: post those hot brass, hotter tempers signs. Politicians pushing red-flag laws or AWBs? Show them this tape; it’s empirical proof that the armed populace keeps predators at bay. Darwin’s got our back, but so does the Second Amendment. Stay strapped, stay vigilant, and keep those range bags heavy.
