"It had already been a long and emotional day for the Virginia Beach man when he walked into a 7-Eleven store to buy a Big Gulp.
...“I look down and I’ve got a pink drink with something orangish-red in there. 
Then I look up and there are two guys pretty much standing on top of each other with two guns pointed in my face.”
...While the robbers focused on the cash and the clerk, the man touched the 9 mm handgun hidden in a holster under his T-shirt with his pinkie. 
No one noticed. 
He knew he had about 10 rounds in the clip.
As he stood there, still clutching his Big Gulp and occasionally taking a sip, the man now found himself facing a tough decision: 
Should he draw the gun?
He ran through the possible consequences: 
Will I go to jail? 
Do I have a clear enough shot that no one else will get hurt? 
Is anyone else in the store? 
Will someone else pop in? 
If I don’t do it, is the clerk or someone else going to get shot?
“I’m thinking about all of that and at the same time thinking, you’re supposed to have the right to bear arms, the right to protect yourself, the right to protect others if need be,” he said.
“I’m like 'Man, you say you believe in the Second Amendment. You say you believe in America. You know God’s got you.'”
...He is, however, experienced with guns and has had a concealed handgun permit since he was 21. He enjoys going to a shooting range a couple of times a week and believes all gun owners should be properly trained.
..You just told these people to call the cops and they’re coming. 
You got to stand here and wait for them. 
Of course, you can’t be standing here with a gun in your hand. 
You’re a black man with a gun. 
You’ll probably get shot...”
