Since we've been writing about defensive gun uses within the context of the broader debate over gun restrictions lately, this story caught my attention. It also seems particularly relevant in light of the horrible shooting at a Tennessee Waffle House a few days ago, which was interrupted by the heroics of an unarmed man (for whom strangers have now raised more than $170,000). Some on the anti-gun Left decided that it would be a useful argument to highlight the incredible case of James Shaw, Jr. as a means of rebutting the 'good guy with a gun' argument from supporters of the Second Amendment. That was an unserious and nonsensical point, but they made it anyway. Which brings us to an incident that occurred at a Waffle House in Louisiana a few days ago -- and I'd wager that only a tiny fraction of those familiar with the Tennessee incident have heard about this one:
On Friday two armed men tried to rob a Louisiana Waffle House but were shot by an armed patron. One of the robbers was hospitalized. Nobody else was hurt. http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2018/04/waffle_house_armed_robbery_sus.html …

Was this in a state where the good guy was legally armed in the restaurant ? I think we all saw signs where the 4 were murdered that guns were prohibited by Waffle House ownership.
The “Hero”. What a great and very brave guy. I’m thrilled with the money that was raised. Hope it will make his life a little easier.
Or at least the Waffle House.
Seriously! He should eat there free, once a day, for the rest of his life.
I think this was in Louisiana. Down here we carry legally as we all should do. The best defense for a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun. A school system that does not arm it’s schools should be sued for criminal negligence if one child is harmed by a bad person.
A History teacher, you would think, would know better than to compare a student to Hitler.
Considering that he was instructed not to engage with the student on social media prior to his diatribe, I think he should be fired.
There is simply no excuse for this kind of behavior from a so called professional.
Shaw was a good guy with bare hands.

Hands which were burned by a hot barrel. Not mentioned here, but he also started a fund for the shooting victims.
That worked out well...
