No bonus points here, he isn't a mere “citizen”.

Something similar happened at that mall shooting in Oregon. A private citizen with a CCL was maneuvering to get a shot at the gunman (there were innocents behind his target) when the nutcase spotted him and took himself out.

I guess he didn't want to risk only being wounded and getting sent to prison.

That’s murder. You have to wait until they shoot everybody, get permission from the PC MSM and the bleeding heart public, travel back in time to before the incident, and then shoot them.

Very good for her. This should serve as a lesson to those calling for gun bans, but it won't.

You’ll never catch me in a movie theater without my gun, that’s for sure.

Really? You mean like at the Killeen Luby’s Cafeteria, the clock tower at the University of Texas at Austin, the Soldier Readiness Processing Center at Fort Hood, and at Fort Worth’s Wedgewood Baptist Church? I’d say you’re all hat and no cattle, son...

I was about to say you'll never catch me in a movie theater then I remembered the wife and I saw 2016 a few months ago. Prior to that the last time I had been in a theater was to see Twister in I believe 1996. I don't support Hollyweird or the liberal filth who work there.

But all the liberals say that a man with a gun can’t stop a man with a gun. I’ve heard it over and over and over...
