Another case to promote CCL. Unfortunately one innocent victim could not be saved. Thoughts?

But....but....but..... according to Moms against guns, this NEVER occurs....a GOOD GUY with a GUN will NEVER stop a BAD GUY with a GUN.....

With that being said....I carry. I have NO desire to use it, but I also have no desire to use the fire extinguisher that I have in my kitchen....but I will not hesitate to use either one of them in a situation that I deem the use as required.... I will also not loose much sleep over it either!

Same here, and he has the right to heed my first warning which is a round being chambered in my tactical shotgun.

As the saying goes: better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6.

Me too when i can Maj Chris Nelson but not as often as I like. I too have fire extinguishers in the home, i have one mounted on cargo area of my truck and have no desire to use them as you said but will when needed. And like you, I will not lose any sleep over it.

I am surprised the media admits someone with a gun stopped the maniac. But they are quick to point out it was a reserve police officer. You sure wouldn't want to give the impression that a regular citizen with a gun could prevent these types of situations. People need to come to the realization that a good guy with a gun is a good thing. And just may have an impact on these situations with these fanatic lunatics.

I don't yet have a CCL, since the state of MD makes it almost impossible to obtain one. But I like to give folks the benefit of the doubt and would like to think that most of those to do obtain a CCL are responsible people who have taken the CCL course seriously. Yes this particular individual was an off duty officer and I respect that. But IMHO I would think that there are many folks not employed in law enforcement, who do have CCLs, who would have done the same thing. Hence the reason for CCLs.

I guarantee you it's one hell of a deterrent in states that have CCLs.

Even in states that it is easy. You must go through a background check, fingerprinted and a training class which advises you the law. Then qualify on a range with said firearms. I am a huge surpporter of CCL's. That coming from a former Law Enforcment Officer. I never worked any weapons crimes with a legit CCL holder.

SFC Garzon and MAJ Whitehorn,

Much like SFC Garzon as a former LEO, I believe in legal concealed carry. I have permits in three states and carry most places. I too never worked an incident involving a legitimate CCW / CCL licensee. Many states will waive the training with a DD214.

MD is a pain in the arse. You have to demonstrate a reason for needing a CCL, such as law enforcement or what have you. Local stupidity, crime rates, and self defense don't count.
