There is no accounting for idiots.
Besides being a totally legal concealed permit holder, the guy could have been an undercover cop, an FBI agent, etc.
Liberal hoplophobe got a taste of his own medicine.
At Wal-mart.
another open-carry idiot stirring up trouble and encouraging retailers to ban all firearms from their stores. Carry concealed, fool!
Can you imagine if the guy was LEO what kind of hurt he would be in?
If someone isn’t waving a weapon around or attacking anyone, why would you care?
Flippin Moron.
I have shopped at this store more than once, when in Brandon for various reasons. Not surprised that such an incident could occur there, though it would have been much worse if he had so entered the Brandon Mall about a mile north of the WM.
Maybe the dude is some kind of wussified pervert who enjoys assaulting old men.
Michael Foster, 43, of Lithia, was arrested Tuesday and charged with battery for tackling a Walmart patron he believed was up to something sinister because he was carrying a gun. The patron, Clarence Daniels, 62, of Seffner, had a concealed carry permit and was legally allowed to have the gun in public.[Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office]
Seems to me thsat he has plenty of hair...the more convenient to grab a handful and jerk his nosy-nanny ass off the CCW holder.
anyone who walks up and physically assaults another person without cause, deserves whatever response he receives
and assaulting an armed person...is a sign of a suicidal mental condition... which, obviously, can easily prove “self-fulfilling”
I would like to point out two things:
1) The attacker used a choke hold. That is assault with a deadly weapon if you ask me. The CCW would have been justified in using lethal force to end the attack.
2) This is a good example of why to carry an alternate weapon. I recommend a locking blade folding pocket knife that can be opened one handed. I also recommend that it be carried in a location that is opposite of the fire arm.
Hopefully Foster will do at least a year in jail and 5 years probation.
I’ve walked into Wally World with my pistol concealed. Nothing was said to me.
Lucky he wasn’t ventilated...
Thats how you get shot.
This story has shades of the Jim Goldberg case in Copnnecticut.
As I understand it, he went into a local restaurant to pick-up some takeout he had ordered; a clerk saw his concealed holstered pistol and called the cops; *man with a gun*
Cops arrested him and it turns out they *misinterpreted* the law b/c much to the cops chagrin, CT is an open-carry state.
Goldberg won. Rogue cops get exposed.
Good! Prosecute to the fullest.
My wife works at that store....
Dude is so lucky he didn't get shot, and it would of been justified, but a nightmare if the liberal press got a hold of the story.
