An armed passerby has shot dead a gunman who opened fire on a packed Oklahoma restaurant in a terrifying shooting which left a woman and two children injured.
The shooter, a white male who was wearing eye glasses and ear protection at the time, was confronted by a person standing outside the restaurant as he tried to flee, and shot dead.
He was the only person killed in the shooting, which left four in hospital, and Police Captain Bo Matthews told reporters the armed civilian was 'a blessing'.

Actually, I was referring to Street Outlaws. I’m a big fan!
Honestly, I could care less if this hero had a “permit”. If he did fine, if he didn’t he’s a hero and the governor will pardon him and do the right thing. Our states are infringing our constitutional rights by forcing permitting.
That’s my thought on “permitting” also. Nothing in the 2nd about that.
If he didn’t and they prosecute, great test case for the supreme court.
This armed Good Samaritan should be rewarded with a substantial bounty for saving OK taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars which would have been spent on this chunk of human debris for his trial, imprisonment and countless appeals. A fat reward would be serve as a fine incentive to other citizens who are licensed to carry guns.
Maybe so, but in this case, it sounds like the police chief will go to the wall to support him.
We don’t know at this point how he was carrying in his car. He could have had the gun unloaded, fully encased, with the ammunition separate from the gun, in which case he’d be perfectly legal.
Or he may have had a carry permit.
I was just responding to the premise that in many states it is legal to carry a loaded handgun in your car without a concealed permit. This is true, but not in OK.
Then there goes the "licensing" concerns from the media.
Thus everyday folks wouldn’t have a clue and would most likely kill a bunch of innocents by spray firing at the suspect. I see how that works. For the lame stream media.
True, but it’s clear that he (rightly) will get the benefit of the doubt.
Look for this to be the lead story on CNN tonight!
Um, not. Somebody get that fagotty anti-gun kid guy from Florida and let him respond to this. Punk.
No AR so no hogg.
Aaaaand down the media memory hole with this one. I had to laugh when I read that a reporter had demanded to know whether the defender had a permit or not, because it’s a cold fact that the media are literally disappointed that the people in the restaurant didn’t die and the perp did. Remember this next occasion you might have to talk to a reporter - they are not your friends.
NEVER talk to the media. EVER!
I don’t know whether he had a CC permit or not - maybe he did but it may be unnecessary. I don’t know OK law, but I interpret that passage you quote as saying you don’t need a CC permit if the pistol is locked in the trunk unloaded.
He may have had an unloaded pistol locked in the trunk and a magazine in his pocket or glove compartment, say. That would be legal, even without CC.
OK, that makes sense. Not that he makes any sense at all.
