A security guard in Santa Fe Springs, California is lucky to be alive today, after batting with two would be thieves.

This all went down at a AP Natural Solutions, A medical marijuana store.

Two men enter the store pretending to be customers, one pulls out a gun and makes some demands, while his partner manages to take the security guard’s gun.

That’s when the security guard made either a very brave, or very dumb decision when he starts scrapping with the robbers. The three go at it, until the gunmen try to get out of the room they’re in, but the door is locked.

One of the robbers starts firing bullets at the door handle in an unsuccessful attempt to get it to unlock.

Finally, the security guard lets them out. Other than catching some shrapnel from the bullets that were fired, the guard didn’t suffer any major injuries. The thieves only escaped with the guard’s gun and holster.
