It's apparent Eliud Martir Montalvo never heard of the old warning about taking a knife to a gunfight.
It was a retired Marine who was carrying a concealed weapon that brought a halt to Montalvo's alleged crime spree, which included a series of attempted carjackings in Orange County, Fla., this week.
According to WFTV-TV in Orlando, the suspect allegedly tried to steal four cars, one after another, on Tuesday.

Authorities said the attacks all were within a block of one another, and the episode was halted when a Marine Corps veteran, Andrew Koplin, pointed his concealed weapon at the alleged carjacker and kept it there.
According to the Orlando Sentinel, the rampage started when Montalvo tried to grab the car keys from Joan Shedd, 79.
She wouldn't give them up, and he kicked her to the ground before running off when a bystander chased him.
"He gave me a hard shove and I went backwards and landed on the cement, " Shedd told WESH-TV.
