OR: "Man exercising open carry right is robbed of his own firearm at gunpoint"
William Coleman III was robbed of his Walter- brand P22 just after 2:00 a.m. October 4 in Gresham by a young man who asked him for it — and flashed his own weapon as persuasion.
Coleman, 21, was talking to his cousin in the 17200 block of NE Glisan St., after purchasing the handgun earlier that day, when a young man asked him for a cigarette, police said.
The man then asked about the gun, pulled a gun from his own waistband and said “”I like your gun. Give it to me.”
Coleman handed over the gun and the man fled on foot.
The suspect is thin a black male, between 19 and 23 years old, clean cut with a small patch of facial hair on his chin, and short black wavy hair.
He is roughly six feet tall, wearing grey sweatpants, a white T-Shirt and flip-flop sandals. (emphasis added)
I wonder if he was really Open Carrying (i.e., had been carrying it in a holster), or just had it out showing to his cousin? Also, was it loaded or empty? Hmm. Color me skeptical until I hear he had been carrying it loaded it a holster before the theft occurred.
