Ping!
Thank goodness there are still a few Good Samaritans in this world.
‘Police responded to several calls reporting a man holding people at gunpoint. Officers determined the man with a gun had a legitimate concealed weapons permit and was trying to help, Heller said”
Good story and positive outcome. My only issue is its spreading the thought that we have to have a permit to have a firearm.
Unless it was concealed on his person he doesn’t need a permit. In Florida its perfectly legally to have a firearm in your glove box or other place not immediately accessible.
There. Fixed it.
No good deed ever goes unpunished.
I am pro-2nd amendment and applaud his courage and altruism. It’s a good thing, though, that the cops did not shoot first and ask questions later when responding to a report of a man holding people at gunpoint. You never know.
I would also like to applaud the victim in this incident. He saw what looked like a kidnapping or possible abuse and tried to stop it. Too bad it looks like the woman he was trying to help was an idiot.
Reminds me of the time I intervened in a drunken domestic dispute. The guy was slapping his girlfriend around, and had bloodied her nose. When I tried to get him to back off, they both jumped on me.
Did the 3 assailants have a legitimate beating license?
***Police responded to several calls reporting a man holding people at gunpoint.***
Yet somebody getting beat doesn’t warrant a 911 call. Incredible
Very interesting.
Two good Samaritans one armed and one not.
If the first had been armed, he would be in serious trouble, as the female he had attempted to help obviously would not have backed up his story.
Fortunately for the armed Samaritan, the unarmed one will back up his story, and he may only incur minor legal costs.
It is a pity, but for your own and your family’s protection, you must be very careful in your choice of strangers to protect.
