"Detroit resident Darrell Standberry doesn't navigate streets of the Motor City without his licensed handgun, and it already has saved his life once.
“You never know when or what you’ll encounter.”
It was 2011, when Standberry stopped at a gas station on Six Mile Road after attending his son’s football practice.
After filling up the tank of his SUV, he left the car running and went inside to pay, only to spot a man jumping in behind the wheel.
...“I saw him pulling out his gun to shoot me,” Standberry recalled.
“So I pulled my gun out and shot him.”
The shot went through the windshield and hit its target, a criminal with a long record who made a short-lived getaway before crashing into a tree and dying.
Standberry’s claim of self-defense was never questioned by local cops.
...“When you look at the city of Detroit, we’re kind of leading the way in terms of urban areas with law-abiding citizens carrying guns,” Craig said recently..."
