Has anyone seen the recent video of the shooting in peru?
I just saw the video on tmz sports. Sorry Iman not able to attach the link here but it shows one armed citizen run off 3 armed robbers. It shows the citizen shoot a robber at just a couple feet and you can barely tell the bg was hit. After they start fleeing one of the bg's shoots the citizen in the stomach. You can immediately tell he's hit. Funny part of the story is the good guy is a mma coach. I would love to know the details of what the good guy was using and then what he was shot with. Anybody know?

Most remarkable is the waitress who calmly flips through her orders as her customers are getting robbed at gunpoint. She only reacts when the shooting starts. I don't know if that means she is completely clueless or it's just another robbery in a long list of robberies.

Thanks Aguila for posting that. The whole thing seemed to happen so fast several people didn't know what to do or just oblivious to what was happening. Glad no bystanders were hit, just the ones playing with guns. It seems to be a pretty decent display of marksmanship from what I can tell.

I noted that also about the waitress. She knew what was happening and it did not even phase her until the shooting started.
Inside job maybe????

Here's a little more information about the shooting. Apparently there were two defenders.
http://perureports.com/2016/05/30/ky...ner-shot-lima/ Fedotov and another customer drew their personal guns and opened fire. ... The shootout left one of the assailants dead and two patrons injured, including Fedotov. The Russian Muay Thai trainer suffered a bullet wound in the abdomen and is currently being treated.Doesn't sound like a place where I'd want to hang out. http://www.mmafighting.com/2016/5/30...ootout-in-peru The defender in the video is expected to recover. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2016/6/2/...-down-in-first One witness suggests that Fedotov began shooting because he expected to be killed when his CCW was discovered.

If you expect to be killed, it's a good time to draw and fire.

Kudos to the other customer who relieved Fedotov of his pistol and took off after the assailants. He at least seemed to make sure they weren't coming back.

Interesting. I had not expected Peru to be a place where a person could carry a firearm.
Apparently in Peru, a license is required for each gun and requires a background check, psychological evaluation, and shooting test. After these are passed and you have your license, the license to own that firearm functions as a license to carry it also. I am also reading that they can only carry rounds lesser than 9mm parabellum and no hollow points.

In South America you can do virtually anything if you have enough money and/or know the right people.
My guess is that acquiring a permit takes a LOT of one or some of both. Quote:

I believe that down there 9mm is considered a military round and civilians are not allowed to possess it.

The plus side is that there are no calibre limitations on handguns, so 9mm, .40, .45 etc all OK. What are people's thoughts on just walking down the central aisle? What could have been done differently/better? On the one side, taking cover and firing from there would increase the risk of hitting bystanders (none of whom were hurt it seems), but it increases the risk of getting shot, which he was.

Pretty rough situation. Taking cover (at least in the area where he was shot and fell down) would have amounted to ducking behind people.
If there's cover, it makes sense to use it. Without a layout of the restaurant and without knowing where he was seated when he drew and began firing, it's hard to say what he should have done.
