GRESHAM, OR (KPTV) -
A man openly carrying his new handgun was robbed on a Gresham street by a man with a gun of his own.

Police were called out to the area of 172nd and Glisan Street at 2:10 a.m. Saturday.

Investigators said the 21-year-old victim bought a handgun earlier in the day and was openly carrying it while talking to his cousin.

They said a man approached them and asked for a cigarette. Talk eventually turned to the victim's new purchase, before the robber pulled his own gun from his waistband and said, "I like your gun, give it to me," according to police.

The victim handed over his gun and the suspect ran away.

The suspect is described as a light-skinned black man, 19 to 23 years old, 6'1" with a skinny build. He had black, wavy hair and was clean cut, except for a small patch of facial hair on his chin. The man was wearing gray sweatpants, a white T-shirt and flip-flops.

The weapon he used in the robbery was described as a black gun, possibly semi-automatic. The stolen gun is a black Walther brand, model P22. It is semi-automatic and .22LR-caliber.

Anybody who may have information on this case is asked to call the Gresham Police tip line at 503-618-2719.

"I want the Davis family to know I truly regret what happened. I'm sorry for their loss," Dunn said. "If I could roll back time and do things differently, I would."

Dunn continued, "I was in fear for my life and I did what I thought I had to do. Still, I am mortified I took a life, whether it was justified or not."

It's amazing to me that the first jury couldn't reach a verdict in that case.

Kind of like saying "If my murdering offended you in any way, I'm sorry"

for the life of me, I cannot figure out how people shoot themselves while cleaning their guns.  Like, you really didn't think it was loaded?  Seriously, it takes a milisecond to figure out.

Nope I guess I'm going to herp derp and just guess it's unloaded and shoot myself.  I wish he wouldn't of hit his finger and hit something more vital.

there are a lot of really stupid people in this country. and there are essentially zero barriers to entry into gun ownership.

Only smart people deserve rights.

Only smart people deserve rights to things that kill other people like guns and cars.  Possibly sharp knives.

I cut my finger pretty badly cleaning a knife one time.

Ugh, hate those stories.

Never understand why people are so paranoid they need a loaded gun in their dresser.

Tough to say, people are all different and make different decisions for different reasons.

My mom lives by herself in a rural area.  She recently bought a handgun and hired a retired cop to train her on it's use and what not.  The cop does that as a side biz.

One of the things he told her was that if you keep the gun and ammo separate, studies show that you might as well not have either when it comes to protecting yourself from home invasion.

Not saying I think any of this is a great idea, but he is a pro, so, there is that.

However it's really really easy to come up with reasons not to have a loaded gun unlocked and unattended in the bedroom of a house where toddlers live.

Not the violent type, no.  She has a mentally ill neighbor though that has a little bit of a history of violence though.  The guy just got divorced, and has seemed super unstable the last few months.  Like, no longer on his meds, type unstable.

I guess I can understand that, but I can't understand having a loaded handgun in a room where kids play.
