Legal concealed carrier attacked by bystander

Posted by David Hardy · 3 February 2015 09:47 PM

Story, with video, here. A Florida man with a CCW carry permit walks into a Walmart. Some guy sees him holster the gun in the parking lot, and tackles him, apparently trying for a chokehold. (Reports have it that in the fight the carrier said to him "I have a permit!") The legal carrier was black; not clear whether that mattered, but if it had been me I doubt he would have decided it was time to try to go for it. Clue: if the guy has a holster and a salt-and-pepper beard, he is probably not a risk). Good ending: police charged the attacker with battery.

Seems the attacker also has a history of mental health problems. This latest behavior sure seems to fit the "danger to others" criteria.

stay safe.

And also the criteria for any of the followers of Everytown or the Mad Mothers I've seen ...

Of course race matters in this story - imagine the outcry if the races were reversed!
