“It felt like we were in a war,” Eyewitnesses thankful to walk away from Metairie gun store shootout
WVUE ^ | February 21 | Amanda Roberts

Posted on 02/21/2021 7:34:41 AM PST by BenLurkin

They both walked into a concealed carry class without knowing each other, but now, Wanetta Joseph and Tyrone Russell say they’re both survivors.

Joseph and Russell say they heard a lot of shots.

“It was a lot it was a lot like you could tell it was a gunfight. It was a gunfight, that’s all I knew,” the pair said.

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office says an active shooter walked into the Jefferson Gun Outlet Saturday afternoon and started firing.

Three people including the shooter were killed. Two others were injured.

Joseph and Russell say they were upstairs in a classroom with three instructors when they heard the shots downstairs.

They say one of the three instructors stayed behind to barricade and keep the class safe while people immediately starting dialing 911.

Police arrived on the scene in minutes, and one by one helped escort everyone inside out of the fatal, gunshot-ridden building.

Walking away from an incident like that, Joseph says she finds it all the more reason to have a way to protect herself.

From the article you linked....

...The relative doubted Williams, who had gone to the store for target practice while spending time with his brother and some children, would have shown up spoiling for a gun fight at a place known to be a hangout spot for off-duty law enforcement ...


Spending time with his brother and, “some children”????

That sounds really strange. Were they HIS children? Were they nieces/nephews???

“Some” children just sounds very odd, to me.

Maybe he was confused by his B-School classes...

“How to kill your customers with superior service”
“How to kill your customers with kindness”
“How to kill your customers with low prices”

“some children”

The Gift of Biden. Already, the leadership of POTUS is trickling down to the common man.

Kind of like when Billy Jeff popularized the notion that getting serviced by Monica wasn’t really sex.

“It appears that Joshua Jamal has a loving mother who believes that her son son was incapable of atrocity.”

I see Justice for Joshua Jamal Williams soon. Here comes BLM and Antifa.

The author is ignorant of firearm terminology. An extended clip? In a pistol? Puh-lease.

“I think a lot of those buying guns recently are buying to protect themselves from white domestic terrorists the media are screaming about. A couple in GA I know bought a gun b/c they fear a white person will kill them cause they didn’t vote for trump.”

Spot on. Conservatives purchase their guns/ammo a long time ago. Most of the people buying guns/ammo are scared lefty type of people and Left Militia groups.

At a gun/pawn shop I frequent a few years back I was in there looking around and visiting with the staff and three out of place and acting strange came in and made a beeline for the gun section. They then started asking out of place questions and I watched the staff start slowly moving to different places, some of which I knew they had a firearm placed, most we’re carrying openly. I excused myself and started moving away from the gun section to an area I knew would offer protection and a place to fire, I was carrying a kel-tec P32 in my pocket.

The manager kept talking to them and two of them started looking about and realized they were covered from several angles, and they told the other guy hey we got to be somewhere let’s go and quickly made their way out the door. The staff stayed in place a minute or two and then went back to normal.

So it starts. The cowardly DC gun haters need this kind of crap tragedy to justify their taking of everybody’s personal firearms. Remember, liberals say it’s always for the children’s and the general safety of society. BS! They are scared that an armed citizen might stand up to them and their criminal crony DC cabal.

In some communities everyone knows the pimps, the drug dealers, the thieves, etc., and they refuse to tell the police. Mama Williams is part of a community that knows who stole what from where and when, who murdered who, and who sells drugs. Her ilk cannot never join society and they prosper in ethnically run areas where the folks like our VP get gigs helping criminals as they rise to the top of the criminal enterprise that America is fast becoming..

“Facebook has been purged already. “content not available at this time”

that’s the first thing they do. Don’t want to spoil the narrative.

Effective use can also be made of the anti-thief fur missile:
