A Marine Corps veteran fought off a group of the usual suspects who tried to carjack him at gunpoint in broad daylight in Maryland. Jheyco Borda was working on his truck in Oxon Hill – about 10 miles outside Washington, DC – when four hooded teens approached him around 4:45 p.m.
Tuesday, surveillance video posted to his Facebook page shows. “Be careful and be aware of your surroundings,” Borda warned in the caption.
The teens surrounded Borda at the bed of his truck while one suspect — who was wearing a red, white and blue sweatshirt — pulled out a pistol and pointed it at the veteran’s head, demanding his car keys and phone.
Borda, seizing on a moment of distraction among the group, grabbed the suspect holding the gun and wrestled him for the weapon.As the struggle broke out, two of the attempted carjackers dashed down the residential street, while another anxiously circled the vehicle.
Seconds after the struggle began, Borda’s brother ran out of the house to help his sibling fend off the group. A single gunshot rang out as the brothers fought for the gun, but nobody was struck.
Borda’s brother then went after a second suspect. Within moments, both brothers had thrown their attackers to the ground and restrained them until Prince George’s County police arrived and took all four suspects into custody.
Borda credited his Marine Corps hand-to-hand combat training for giving him the instincts and know-how to disarm the teen.

Today, May 26th, Governor Lamont signed away more 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding Connecticut residents by signing H5043 – A bill he himself requested that bans future manufacture, sale, and importation of many commonly owned handguns in Connecticut.
It also puts new restrictions on unfinished frames and receivers. This legislation erodes the freedoms of law-abiding manufacturers, dealers, and residents rather than stop individuals performing already illegal modifications to notably mainstream firearm platforms.
