<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Rifle Association released a video this week profiling a self-defense shooting<\/a> involving professional off-road racer BJ Baldwin and his girlfriend, former Glock brand ambassador, Tori Nonaka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo weeks ago, an armed attacker approached me and my\ngirlfriend in this parking lot willing to end our lives,\u201d Baldwin says while standing\nin the lot where the incident took place. \u201cBut he didn\u2019t know, in two seconds I\nwould be ending his.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The shooting occurred on April 22 in the parking lot of an\nIn-N-Out burger joint in Las Vegas, Nevada. It garnered attention from several\nlocal media outlets, but the NRA has seized on it to promote armed self-defense\nand gun rights ahead of the 2020 election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s more important now than ever to join the fight to\npreserve our rights,\u201d Baldwin says at the video\u2019s conclusion. \u201cSo we can ensure\nthe safety of ourselves, the safety of our families, and preserve the right to\ndo so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New details have emerged in the case since GunsAmerica\ncovered the incident on April 29. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson told the Las Vegas Journal Review<\/a> that Baldwin\u2019s actions were \u201ca clear case of self-defense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a police report obtained by the Journal Review,\ntwo men, Joseph Smith, 43, and his brother, Kevin Smith, 40, approached Baldwin\nand Nonaka while the two stood near their car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c(Kevin) Smith said Joseph walked up to them, pulled his gun out, pointed it at the female and smiled as he began shooting at the male,\u201d the report said. \u201cKevin stated Joseph was the first to fire his weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the NRA video, Baldwin adds that Joseph Smith approached Nonaka first and shot his first two rounds at her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs Joseph Smith got closer, he turned his firearm toward Baldwin,\u201d the report said. \u201cWhen Joseph Smith turned his pistol toward Baldwin, Baldwin drew his 9 mm semiautomatic pistol from a holster on his waist and stepped north, taking cover behind a trash can.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baldwin’s account is slightly different on this point. He says that he didn’t pull out his firearm until Joseph Smith turned his firearm away from Baldwin and point it at Nonaka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police said Joseph Smith fired seven times at Baldwin, and\nBaldwin fired 11 times at Smith (contrary to the NRA\u2019s video, which claims\nBaldwin landed all 10 shots). Baldwin wasn\u2019t sure who shot first, but he did\nclaim he never shot at Kevin Smith, who was unarmed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph Smith died at the scene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Smith told police that he and his brother did not know the couple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKevin told detectives the white male shot in self-defense and should not be charged,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GunsAmerica reached out to Baldwin and Nonaka but has not received a response. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the report, Kevin Smith told police that his\nbrother had been upset after failing to purchase a gun at a nearby store. It\u2019s\nunclear why that incident precipitated the attempted murder.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKevin had a feeling Joseph was going to do something\nstupid, but denied knowing what,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Baldwin and Nonaka fled the scene to the home of\nBaldwin\u2019s father, Bobby Baldwin, chairman and CEO of Drew Las Vegas, a Strip\nresort set to open in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police said that Nonoka tried to call 911 while they were in\nthe car, but hung up after saying, \u201cwe were just in a.\u201d When they reached Bobby\nBaldwin\u2019s house, the couple called an attorney, who called the police,\naccording to the report. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Smith was eventually arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit robbery, attempted robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, according to the Journal Review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GunsAmerica requested a copy of the official police report but were denied that request because the case is still “open.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
