A good guy with a gun has saved many lives in Florida – something the media rarely report

Bystander with gun stops shooting at Florida park

Gunfire breaks out at back to school event. Thankfully, a heroic citizen with a permit to legally carry a concealed handgun was able to save countless lives in Florida Saturday when he shot a gunman who opened fire on a back-to-school event attended by over 150 students at a park in Titusville, Florida. The media rarely give national news coverage to incidents like this, but responsible gun owners have stepped forward in this way many times before to save lives. In fact, concealed handgun permit holders have prevented dozens of mass public shootings just in recent years, while receiving only brief mentions in local news coverage.

To the media, he’s a bad guy, because he doesn’t fit the agenda. He must be unexisted. The good guy is the one who would have provided a good story if he wasn’t stopped by that other guy they won’t talk about.

Nice story, for the most part.

Sad that he had to bribe an official to get a permission slip in order to exercise a Constitutionally Protested Right.

And before you go off on me, imagine having to get a permit to own a Bible.

Same thing.
