A good man with a gun saves lives in Kenya

Firearm possession in Kenya was very tightly controlled when we lived there. The only time I ever saw a non-uniformed person carrying a pistol the man turned out to be a very (in)famous police detective.

Former British Marine with concealed carry? Maybe...

I cannot wait to read the stories about all the unarmed people who saved hundreds of lives/s

Good points, Talisker, but better yet not to wait for the government to help. Particularly ours. Civilians should be starting their own civil defense training. I'd sign up.

I remember seeing that pic and the caption said he was saving his family, as if the woman and young girl were his wife and daughter Early reports are always so messed up, it takes a few days for the real facts and the real story to emerge.

Funny.... I always like the early reports before the facts can be massaged.

Lucky he was in Kenya and not some Third World city or state like NYC, Chicago, Co, Conn, Mass, Md., etc. where he would have been taken into custody for real or imagined weapons violations.

Meanwhile, the Brady Bunch are wondering why he wasn’t busted for possession of a dangerous weapon.

And Obama’s right there with ‘em.

Thanks for the ping.

Why are they blurring out his face now? His face has already been published.

Yes it has. But this photo is in much wider distribution with an acknowledgement of his being SAS.

Also, not a lot of press being given to the Brit women determined to be behind all this bloodshed.

This, IMO, deserves much publicity. Some reports have her as DOA;but the truth is not known at the moment.

Is there any place that lists mass shooting attempts that have been successfully prevented by people with a gun? As in, situations where someone planned a Va Tech/Sandy Hook/Columbine type shooting and it was stopped by ordinary citizens with a gun? I think it would be great to have such a list available to shut up the gun braggers who always presume that ordinary citizens with guns in these situations always make things worse. Does anyone know of a site that has that kind of list?

I’m sure there are cases, but I’m afraid I don’t know where to look.

[lepton]

Yes, there is. I found one a few months ago but don’t remember where. John Lott maybe?
