Bad Guy With Machete Vs. Armed Citizen: Who Wins? Everyone.

BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA — A couple went to go pick up their belongings when Concepcion Vega, 33, began yelling at the man. When yelling didn’t get the point across, Vega went inside and got a machete. He came out and began swinging it around violently. Well, that’s about enough of that. Fearing for his life, the man drew his handgun and shot twice. Neither shot landed but it was enough for Vega to retreat.

According to police records used by The Advocate, the gunowner called police after he shot at Vega and cooperated fully with their investigation. Vega was charged with a misdemeanor count of aggravated assault. After being shot at, he also cooperated fully with police and was apprehended without resistance.

Sometimes it’s just easier to move than potentially get into a confrontational situation like what unfolded before this armed citizen.
