Yes, that man. I’m going on only the articles I’ve seen and the news reports he’s been interviewed on in the last few days.
He was hit in the arm, apparently the bullet grazed him. If he in fact jumped out to get the gunman’s attention off the woman trying to stop him, then he DID do a heroic thing.
As for asking the other guards to “give me your gun”, that’s just dumb. They were private citizens with concealed carry permits and personal weapons.
I don’t give up my gun for anyone, other than an authorized law enforcement official, and I sure am not handing it over to someone in the midst of a possible combat situation, whether HE thinks I’m right or not.
I agree. He does seem to be taking it too far. I do seem to remember reading about not only private citizens, but paid security - maybe I’m mistaking two places (mall/church). I can’t say anything bad even if someone did freeze - we’re human. Many of us like to talk the talk, but when it comes to the taking of another life, I honestly don’t know how I’d react - even if he was armed and on a rampage. I think I’d do the right thing.
