A terror attack in a shopping mall. A knife-wielding terrorist targets his victims nine of them. Then he goes after the wrong man. He tries to take down an off-duty cop whos carrying a good guy in the right place at the right time to prevent further bloodshed.
Youve likely already heard that the attacker in the mall in St. Cloud, Minnesota, this weekend has been identified as a 22-year-old Somali man, claimed by militants in Syria as a solider of ISIS. What you may not have heard about is the hero who put an end to the attackers attempted massacre.
His name is Jason Falconer, a gun range owner, USPSA Shooter, and NRA-certified firearms instructor. Falconer is the president and owner of Tactical Advantage LLC, a shooting range and training facility with a strong focus on arming concealed carriers. Hes also a former chief of the Albany (MN) police department, and he remains a part-time officer.
Falconer was shopping at the Crossroads Center Mall when all hell broke loose.
While the mainstream media may not want to say much about him because the situation clearly shows that good guys with guns are what helps keep people safe, for his part, Falconer told the Minneapolis Star Tribune that hes been trying to stay away from it all, for the time being. He indicated that he wasnt hurt and declined to talk further, citing the ongoing investigation as the reason for not saying more right now.
The last thing the liberal media wants is to paint the picture of a 2nd Amendment-respecting, gun-toting, capable and courageous firearms instructor using his training to save countless lives. They dont want you to think that we need more men like Jason Falconer in our communities.
Unfortunately for the left who would just as soon disarm the law-abiding good guys while the bad guys continue to abuse the system, Americans know better. Thank you, Jason Falconer.
He'll be an overnight millionaire.
Wonder how many hacks left out the part about a good guy with a gun
‘Then he goes after the wrong man.’
Did the Muslim terrorist thug go after Falconer...or did Falconer go after the thug?
Yeah....that guy watched 9 innocent people get stabbed....and kept his gun in his pants?????
NOT FRIGGIN’ POSSIBLE!
He assessed, acquired, and stopped that bad guy.

Awesome to read about a good guy with a gun. We need more good guys with guns.

Did the mall have posted a No Guns Allowed sign?
Why didn’t he just shoot him in a leg? /s
It wasn’t a fair fight! He brought a gun to a knife fight. What would Miyamoto Musashi do./sarc
I hope NRA gets Falconer to do a “Freedom’s Safest Place” spot.
Or he could shoot the knife out of his hand. I’ve seen Roy Rogers and the Lone Ranger do that dozens of times./s
Send the idea to the NRA website. It’s a specific incident that people can relate to and identify with. Could change some anti-gun minds.
Jason Falconer is a hero. But he is also in danger of being fatwa’d.
We need millions more just like Jason.
