 Second, in this case, the armed citizen started out unarmed and had to run to his truck to get his weapon. This isn't unusual, simply because most people don't want to carry a heavy and bulky pistol around with them, especially when they're doing physical activity. Let's face it, it's always easier to leave the gun at home or in the car. Pistols are a pain in the butt to carry, but if this citizen had to do it all over again, I'm certain he would have preferred to have the gun readily accessible and on his person.
