So, a confrontation with a CCW holder may well have stopped the Clackamas mall shooter short.

Guns save more lives than they take.

I think that is what the Culture of Death finds most appalling.

This is the first report of a concealed weapon carrier confronting this mall shooter. I’m betting there will be more. Spent pistol casings were found at the mall and the shooter didn’t have a pistol. Was the shooter wounded by pistol fire before he took his own life?

First I’ve heard of this. So is the mall a gun free zone or not? If it is, maybe he should have kept quiet about it.

“I know after he saw me I think the last shot he fired was the one he used on himself.”

Now if we could only convince the crazies and criminals to make that one the first shot...

I’m willing to bet that the last shot he fired WAS the one he used on himself. Any takers?

There were pistol shell casings and the shooter had a rifle? Makes me wonder how many other suicide/killers have a little help making that decision.

According to DOJ crime statistics, guns are used 2.5-million times per year to prevent violent crimes like rape, robbery, carjackings and home-invasions, 99% of the time without a shot being fired.
