Wal-Mart Shooting

[Sled Puller]

Just read about this, funny it did not make national news??



A customer with a CCP helped a female wal mart employee out, when her ex-husband started stabbing her behind the deli counter.

72 year old Due Moore shot and killed him.

A private citizen saving the life of someone with a firearm??? Are you kidding, that'll never make the national news, unless he killed a baby by accident or something.

you mean a gun can actually do some good in the world, lol, nothing showing anything but a guns vice will ever make national news, it annoys me to death, but thats the way it is, if people are to see that guns are not so bad they might not support this liberal crap about banning all firearm and things.

We had the law school shooting in Grundy a couple of years ago. Local news reported (initially) that the shooter had been subdued by two students. One was an off duty Deputy Sheriff and the other a CCW holder. They had to run to their cars to get the weapons, as the school had a "no guns" policy. I guess the shooter didn't read that part.



Anyway, after the first couple of hours, even the locals stopped referencing the two heros as having guns. They reported that the shooter was "wrestled to the ground. " The national news played the "wrestling" angle from the start.



However, the story does have a happily ironic ending. The school, which produces trial lawyers... ... is being sued by the families of the victims!!
