Passerby With Concealed Carry Permit Stops Slaughter In Philly

If you ask a concealed handgun permit holder why they choose to carry a concealed weapon all of the time, they’ll sometimes dryly reply that it’s because criminals are rarely considerate enough to put their deadly crimes on the intended victim’s calendar.

Such was the case in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania yesterday, when a man with a concealed carry permit heard gun shots as he passed by a barbershop, ran in, and stopped a massacre in the making by shooting a man who had opened fire on employees and customers

Odd. According to the lsm types, defensive firearm use never actually happens. Just pro-gun types 'saying' it to make themselves feel better about carrying concealed WMDs. Right? Maybe not so much.

Yep. It happens quite often, something to the effect of 2 MILLION crimes stopped by legal gun owners per year, but you’ll be damned if the lib propaganda networks will ever report it, you have to actually search these stories out until you find it on some rarely seen website or some foreign press. The media in this country is a joke, but no surprise being that libs like to run things like their heroes like Kim Jung mentally Ill, Stalin, Mao, Castro.

The man who killed the gunman later surrendered to police at the 16th District Headquarters. Investigators say at this point it appears the shooting was in self-defense and the man likely will not face any charges. They continue to investigate however.

"The person who responded was a legal gun permit carrier," said Philadelphia Police Captain Frank Llewellyn. "He responded and I guess he saved a lot of people in there."

I did a search of this story looking for the name of the guy who was killed but, strangely enough, none of the stories include his name.

Also strange, judging by the number of links to other stories, barber shops seem to be a popular place for shootings. Weird.

My Daddy would be honored by your choice of tagline. His grandfather and great-grandfather were products of the old west and told him many stories (which he relayed to me) about how careful, thoughtful vigilantism transformed the most lawless part of the country into the most civilized within half a generation. Thus, my screen name.

Mark my words: It will return if civilization is to return.

That was going to be my comment- according to the gun grabbers this never happens so it doesn’t matter if the government takes them or not.. or something.
