So much things wrong with this incident.  In my opinion that individual should not have involved his concealed weapon.

Like mentioned above, call 911 and be a good witness.  Your life and your loved ones didn't seem like it was in danger.  The weapon should not even have been drawn.

The only scenario that could cause someone to draw and detain is if the car was used in a manner that could have killed bystanders, him/herself, or their loved ones.

edited to add:  This kind stuff is ammunition for the gun control nuts.  Garan Ball Barans.  You watch.

If the stolen vehicle isn't mine, family or a friend's,  I wouldn't get involved if I saw it.  I might call 911 and tell them I saw the vehicle at such and such place.  Then again, I might not. Depends how busy I am at the moment.

Main thing to remember is the criminal is at fault.

agree

BTW, I heard the CCW guy was related to the truck owner.

Is this a legit reason to draw your weapon as a CCW holder?

Although people shouldn't give chase, I can understand why he did what he did.  If your truck gets stolen do you trust HPD to get it back? If it's uninsured, its very difficult for a family to replace.  A lot of people would've given chase if they could.

A CCW holder brandishing his weapon playing cop?  Is this within your right to defend yourself and your loved ones as a CCW holder?

For the incident itself.  CCW guy looked like he was muzzling the cop. Should've been holstered or at the very least be at low ready with two hands on the gun ready to respond if needed.  The good thing is the cop trusted the CCW guy.
A lot of car thieves carry weapons and police deem them dangerous. So it might be acceptable to draw on a car thief.

Again, is this a situation where self defense is warranted?  A CCW holder is now a civilian deputy now?

Depends what happened prior to the video starting and there's still a lot we don't know what was going on. Safer bet would be to follow within reason and guide the police in

Probably not considered  brandishing since he's stopping a felony and he could articulate a lot of car thieves posses weapons.

People have a right to use reasonable force to protect property.   The stop was fine and he could yank her out of the car, as unarmed or gun concealed.  People try to prevent theft all the time.   If she whips out a gun or knife outside the car as a threat, then he can draw and defend himself against death or serious bodily injury, depending on the circumstance.

Per the law if he can retreat safely he must do so. Like if she's still in the truck and whips out a knife while he's a good distance away.

I'm not a lawyer but I once chased down a shoplifter while I was "on the clock", and restrained him
on a public sidewalk till the police showed up.
I recovered my Bosses property, a six pack of Budweiser 16 oz cans.
Cop told me the only reason I wasn't arrested for assault and various other things they could dream up is
he was a strong, healthy, young, adult male, and I was a minor.
This was in a Hispanic community and I'm a white kid.
Waste of time to deal with it.
 

Can’t use deadly force to defend property except for a couple of pretty specific situations.  Sounds like this probably was NOT one of them.

It depends.  If someone swipes your wallet, you can chase after them and keep your gun concealed.  If they start shooting at you, it's no longer protection of property, it becomes protection of self.

If instead you chase after them with your gun out, then that turns a bit murky.

But the vehicle in the article was not the CCW holder's property.

I'm referring to the OP's post.

And I'm questioning his actions as a CCW holder.  Were his actions warranted?  I say NO.

You can protect the property of another.  I heard the CCW guy was somehow related to the owner.

CCW probably went overboard, but depends what happened before the video.  Cop doesn't seem concerned the gun is out, there may be a reason for it.

Criminals should have a 3 strike rule,  after 3 felony crimes the next one is auto death sentence.   Would really cut down crime.
