Have to give this a half-ping, anyway. I don’t usually include security guards in the armed citizen list, but this is an exception. This was a private individual, even though acting in the course of his job. He put a timely end to what could otherwise have been a far worse story. And in all the radio broadcasts I’ve heard about this, no one has mentioned the security guard aspect.

Sorry to correct you, but this should read "in the course of HER job."

Rumor has it she was either an off duty CSP officer, OR former CSPD officer. Either way, the Pastor verified her credentials a bit ago, saying she was a "plain clothes" security guard with a concealed weapon, and permit for it. (Cops normally don't have to HAVE a permit here). Also, she may have been hired to do the job, but that would be like them hiring me to do "security" (which I've done once or twice for various events, because I have the training... etc). But, I'm still a private citizen (so, for that matter are cops and security guards, I might add).
