BRANDON — Clarence Daniels had just crossed the threshold of Walmart's front doors on Tuesday, in search of coffee creamer for his wife, when the gun in hip holster gave a well-intentioned vigilante the idea he was up to something more sinister.

Can you imagine if the guy was LEO what kind of hurt he would be in?
You are right, the Gestapo does not put up with crap like this, the Gestapo Agent would have Killed Him, Now maybe a “Peace Officer” would have handled it differently, but “Peace Officers” went away a long time ago.
If you wish to learn about “Law Enforcement Officers” ask your Grandfather who he was fighting in WWII, Germany’s LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS!

anyone who walks up and physically assaults another person without cause, deserves whatever response he receives

and assaulting an armed person...is a sign of a suicidal mental condition... which, obviously, can easily prove “self-fulfilling”

He might want to also look up AZ gun laws and see how well pone carry works from a crime stats standpoint. We seem to have less crime with all this idiotic open carrying we do for some bizzarre reason.

‘The patron, Clarence Daniels, 62, of Seffner, had a concealed carry permit and was legally allowed to have the gun in public.’

He was - it was under his jacket...the attacker (want-a-be) saw him get out of his vehicle - and the jacket he was wearing came up where the (want-a-be) saw it and then followed him in the store...

So - he did everything correctly - except check his “six” for an idiot coming up behind him...

I think we should all do a “crazy Ivan” now and again...never know these days...

I would like to point out two things:

1) The attacker used a choke hold. That is assault with a deadly weapon if you ask me. The CCW would have been justified in using lethal force to end the attack.

2) This is a good example of why to carry an alternate weapon. I recommend a locking blade folding pocket knife that can be opened one handed. I also recommend that it be carried in a location that is opposite of the fire arm.

You do realize that 67% of the population has a reading and comprehension skill of a 3rd grader.

I might have shot the guy or stabbed him.

At a minimum I would have broke something on that idiot.

Aikido, Judo and three younger brothers train you and I absolutely have to win.

We have several folks in our town who open carry. The cops and sheriffs say nothing about it and no one complains. The libs who live around here are smart enough to keep their libtardness to themselves.

I’m sure that he read the article he just didn’t comprehend it. Its called reading comprehension and some people suffer from a lack of it. Who’s the fool now. Malls and other businesses can ban guns all they want to. People are still going to carry them inside the ban will not matter. criminals carry guns into gun banned areas all the time. it doesn’t stop them and it wouldn’t stop me hahahaha

Can’t say per Florida, but in Texas that would have earned jerking his CCW license. Concealed means concealed.

Texas (and Florida, Arkansas, Illinois, South Carolina etc.) need to clean up their act.

We have several folks in our town who open carry. The cops and sheriffs say nothing about it and no one complains. The libs who live around here are smart enough to keep their libtardness to themselves.

Years ago my grandfather open carried around town. He was at our downtown festival when a rookie cop saw his gun and walked up to Grandad and set about to relive him of it. The Chief of Police saw what was going on and eased up next to rookie and quietly told him to walk away. Grandad was having fun and the chief knew that if the rookie tried to use force he was going to be down on the ground and incapacitated before he knew what hit him. Grandad was an expert in self defense AND he was a tool and die maker and worked with heavy steel every day. At 60 he could Bench Press 300lbs. and not break a sweat.

In Ohio at the time there was no law against open carry. The rookie just assumed that people were not allowed to carry guns. He only lasted about a year on the force. He apparently got caught shaking down young girls on weed and making them do sexual favors to stay out of jail.

Personally, I hope he now hires some shyster attorney and sues his sorry arse off! He might then learn to mind his own business.

and place it on his hip underneath his coat,

Although, in general I agree with you about open-carry idiots.

I don’t believe mere printing would result in a CCW being jerked.

I can’t believe that if ANYONE sees your concealed handgun, you could lose your license.
