It took getting robbed at gunpoint for liberal comedian Tim Young to turn conservative and change his mind about gun laws, proving there is wisdom in the old adage — “a liberal is just a conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet.”
After being robbed at gunpoint by two men in Washington, DC on January 17, Tim Young emerged from the incident determined to get a concealed carry permit so he does not have to feel so defenselessness again.

Young had the gun pointed in his face on M Street around 7:45 p.m. The two male suspects made off with his cell phone.
The next day he tweeted:
Details: Last night I was robbed at gunpoint by 2 men in DC by the new @TheWharfDC on the way to get coffee at @dolcezzagelato at 7:45pm.
They got my phone and tossed me around while people watched from a half block away. Then they ran off.
Thanks to @DCPoliceDept for your help.— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) January 18, 2018
WUSA9 reports that Young grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and, until being robbed in D.C., never saw the need to get a gun, much less carry one. He indicated that “he’s been in some bad places in his life and nothing happened to him [in those places] … [so] he assumed things would continue to go that way.”
But that mindset changed abruptly when he stood helplessly as one of two suspects pointed a gun at him and demanded his valuables. Young said, “Terrified. You know, when I talk to people about this … you’re scared. There’s no man card involved. I was defenseless.”
Young says he will not allow himself to be in that defenseless position again: “When you’re in an instance where there’s a gun is pointed at you and your life is being threatened for your property and no one’s going to help—and now I know that no one’s going to help—I want to feel more secure. I want to feel safe, and I have something to defend myself with.”
WUSA9 tweeted:
.@TimRunsHisMouth says 6-7 people saw what happened and didn't help while he was being robbed. He's now changed his mind on guns. Wants to feel safer. Tells @brucejohnson9 he plans to apply for a conceal & carry permit. #OffScriptOn9 pic.twitter.com/I6ACSAUMPI

As for people who continue to oppose concealed carry, Young gave voice to millions of conservatives across the nation who have long accused liberals of living in a naive fantasy land.
“I think a lot of those people who are opposed to having a conceal carry permit and being able to own a weapon have never had one pointed directly at them when they have nothing on them.”

“nothing happened to him [in those places] … [so] he assumed things would continue to go that way.” Assume away imbecile….A Darwin Award awaits!
Fake news. You cant change your core believes just because on one unfortunate event. He got robbed at gunpoint and now thinks he would be better off with his own gun shooting it out with the guy? Yeah right….sure he does. I guess he is pro-life now also since he found out abortion kills real kids,huh?
Oh look, someone else who’s never been robbed at gunpoint.
His core beliefs would only change with a much more formidable encounter.
A ‘Spiritual’ One. When he meets his Maker, helps see quite clearly.
He be woke!
Ban the guns and stop killing each other!
Modern democracies the world over – are all free of this nonsense. Only America has this sickness where the police alone shoot and kill about one person a day, and gun owners dozens a day.
