“Expected.”

Yep, and oh so predictable. Amazing how this “journalist” ignores the thousands of justified uses by CCW holders, versus the minuscule number of misuses. Beyond that, this shooter was an ex-cop who could probably carry in a lot of states that don’t issue CCW permits to most folk.

I hope the shooter in this case gets what he deserves, but this incident does nothing to invalidate concealed carry as a desirable thing in general.

The same people justifying the death penalty for popcorn would be crucifying the victim right now if he'd defended himself with a handgun. The Textfinder General would be lauded as a selfless hero who died saving a theater full of people against a berserk gunman.

If I said he shot him down like a dog, that would be overly dramatic. But he went straight to the police book of loopholes with a perfectly calm demeanor as if he'd done nothing even as significant as shooting a dog. "I shot him."

He knew what he would do, he knew what he would say, but I think he may mistake the outcome.
