Walking home one night through Delft, a man noticed two suspicious men approaching him. After crossing the road to the opposite pavement, the suspicious men did so as well. At this point the man steeled himself for what he expected to happen. At a distance of about three metres, one of the suspects started to draw a firearm at which point the man in question drew his own. Several shots were quickly exchanged by both side with the man in question receiving a wound to his left hand and chest, collapsing a lung, while the suspects immediately fled. It is unclear if they were wounded. He had been carrying his firearm for the first time (a CZ P-07) for barely seven months, and credits the Gunsite South Africa Facebook community for his survival, stating that had it not been for them he may not have been carrying ‘one up’ (a chambered round) at the time.
