On May 5, two firefighters with concealed carry permits stopped a man allegedly attempting to shoot kids and firemen at the fire station.

According to Fox Carolina, “Children and firefighters” were in the station parking lot when, at about 6:30 p.m. at New Holland, Wisconsin’s Fire Station 2, Chad Barker allegedly pulled up, got out of his car, and opened fire. He allegedly fired in the air and at his own vehicle and “pointed the firearm at individual firefighters for lengthy periods of time.”

Thanks carriers. Of course if you go to the fox carolina report the headline says they "MAY" have prevented..... I'm sure the momunists will rally and "demand" that firefighters be stripped of their firearms. I mean what if they drop their weapons in the middle of a fire or something.

Just like in Texas, one man with one weapon stopped an assailant cold.

My permit is a little 3x5 card about as thick as a piece of cardboard.

How is that going to stop a mass shooting?

Can’t say as I have ever shot my car but I have no problem trading paint with aggressive drivers.

2 years ago my G.F. and I were on our way home from shopping on a Sunday when I noticed this car a 1/4 mile behind me gaining ground FAST.

He got on my @ss going around a 90 degree corner trying to pass me on the left hand lane and I slowed down and figured let the idiot go by.

Well instead of passing me he again got on my @ss so I sped up and so did he.

I had about enough of this crap and told the G.F. to hold on and I slammed on the breaks!

He hits his breaks and over steers to the left lane and over steers into the right lane and hit the ditch so hard that it rolled over one full turn and lands back on all fours facing the opposite direction with all air bags deployed.

I went down the road and by the time I had turned around to assess the damage they were gone...drove away.

I was pretty sure they were hung over college kids because it was a college town I had left and they looked about in their late teens when they were beside me.

Dam that was fun!

I mistakenly called it my car. It was my former car.

Perhaps he was just a suicide that lacked the courage to do the job himself?
