Court records gave this account:

Morales went to the store shortly after midnight to buy the game but became discouraged by the long line of customers. He then considered “taking it from somebody so that he could get it for free.”

That’s when Morales spotted Adam Freeman leaving the store with his reserved copy of the game. Morales allegedly followed Freeman to his apartment in the 2000 block of N.W. 68th Terrace. When Freeman pulled into a parking lot stall, Morales allegedly parked his red Ford Explorer behind him, blocking him in.

Freeman stepped out of his car when a young man wearing a hood approached and “racked a round” in his gun.

“Give me the game!” the gunman ordered.

“(Expletive) you!” Freeman replied.

The gunman racked another round, causing the first round to eject and fall on the ground. Freeman grabbed the gun’s barrel and pushed it back toward the gunman. The pair struggled briefly before the gunman climbed back into his vehicle and sped away.

Freeman ran to his apartment and called 911.

ROFL

I dont know whats more sad. that the victim was almost robbed for his copy of MW3 or that the victim fought him off for the copy. . .

[redsniper]

Or that the guy racked the gun twice for some reason... O_o

[Nuke]

when the fight or flight response kicks in its kinda hard to actually stop and think. if you read the article he says that. but im rather impressed that he was able to fight off a robber, who had him outgunned and still manage to come out of it alive. as an added bonus the ****tard leaves a round (which likely has his prints on it) at the scene. he obviously showed ignorance of firearms and his supposed victim capitalized on it. ****tard goes to jail and victim keeps his life, property, and dignity.

It works in movies!

The robber was in it for robbery through intimidation. Chambering a round  once didn't intimidate, chambering a round the second time made robber look like dumbass. The guy being robbed just happened act accordingly; he may have known deep inside the robber was just about flashing a gun and nothing else. Even if not, he still acted accordingly getting the gun out of his face, and that's cool.

But, there is still that moment of being unsure when you have a gun or knife in your face.

I thought people like this were the kind of trash that natural selection took care of back in the stone age?

Good call, you bastard!

* Dilmah G quietly pretends grabbing MW:3 for some mind numbing post finals exam mush wasn't his primary objective for next week.

Tell me you didn't get the game for free with "third time's the charm" chambering rounds on someone.

[JCDNWarrior]

Let's look it another way, Call of Duty and movies have saved Mr. Freeman's life for giving the wrong interpretation of gun handling

Yeah but it would have been safer to let him keep racking rounds till he emptied the magazine

[S-99]

I agree. Honestly the only time i've seen people eject a round after they've already chambered one are the noobs who are getting familiar with their fire arm's operation at home (while of course not firing the thing).

[Nuke]

when i see mw# i still think of the mechwarrior series. sorry, im old skool

[Mongoose]

I wonder if he tried to look down the sights, thinking that it'd magically make him better.

(man I hate that mechanic)

[Commander Zane]

Well would you be more likely to hit the center mass of a paper target firing any weapon from the hip, or actually looking through its sights?

[Nuke]

anyone know what kind of weapon he was using? i get the impression it was a bolt action rifle or a shotgun but the article was kind of vague about this. attacking with a rifle at close range is a very stupid way to engage a target. seems he didnt place himself far enough back to have effective control of the weapon. and the ****ing around with the bolt would make an inexperienced person drop his aim. i had a hard enough time with that in my last batch of hunting exploits. last year i took out a buck near point blank, so it was a one shot deal, but all the bucks ive seen this yer were at range. the time it takes to chamber a new round and find your target is not as fast as you might think, and it cost me a kill. at close range this is less of an issue though, but stilla bolt action rifle tou need to use your trigger hand to jack a round in, meaning your taking your finger off the trigger, and if your gun isnt well maintained you might have trouble chamberlain a new round and could take a second or two. you give your victim a window in which to act, and combined with the short range, he needs less to take control of the weapon. now a handgun or a pump action shotgun can chamber a round with the left hand and no loss of target is required. then of course on top of that a lot of people hesitate the first time they need shoot to kill something.

[Mars]

It sounds like a double/single-action semi-auto pistol to me.
