Charlie Blackmore Jr., a 32-year-old Marine Corps veteran, was driving home from work at 4:00am Tuesday when he saw a man violently kicking a large object on the ground. He parked his car to see what was going on and upon drawing closer to the scene, Blackmore realized that the "object" was a young woman.
When the man refused to stop beating his visibly injured victim, Blackmore pulled out his Springfield XDM 9mm.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr. praised Blackmore Wednesday in a statement to the Milwaukee-Wisconsin Journal Sentinel: "I want to get to a day when acts like this are viewed as a citizen doing their civic duty. Criminals have got to be reassessing things right now. They have to be asking themselves if it is worth it anymore, might they face resistance or be shot? That's a good thing."
well it sounds like arizona has the mentality needed all across the rest of the country.
Which is why in many respects we are Washington’s biggest enemy. Fortunately, more states are starting to see the light.
True anecdote I witnessed in Arizona.
A small boy sees a man with a handgun in the back of his pants, so mentions it to his mother. His mother’s response: “So?” Then the boy says that the gun wasn’t in a holster, so the man is going to shoot himself in the butt.
That’s Arizona.
