My wife was in Walmart today during a shootout

[the watcher]

It is hard to say how many lives are saved because of legal gun ownership.

Just know the government will never let you know and never talk about it.

The government keeps track of people that question it. It does not count or keep track of self defense actions, number of illegal immigrants, insider trading in Congress, or black on white hate crimes or mail in votes apparently.

Moral of the story: Concealed carry turned a minor scuffle into a shootout.

Again you are wrong about that....It wasn't the law, nor the weapon that necessitated the shooting, it was the people using the tool, or better the first one to go to the weapon in an argument....Blaming anything else is dishonest.

If your wife was carrying, she wouldn’t have had to run. She could have stood her ground and joined in

Now, that right there was unnecessary, and gratuitous...There was no reason there to show your ass....But, you couldn't resist...

It’s hard to believe this is the kind of thing people are okay with.

But here we are.

Who in here has said that they are "okay" with it?

helova day for this to happen Admiral.......~S~

Any day's a good day, Sparky.

I'm glad to hear your wife escaped relatively unscathed.

I've always been a live & let live kind of person but have lately, like within the last 6 months to a year, been questioning that philosophy. I always figured stupid people are going to do stupid things, well fine, they have to live with whatever consequences result. But within the last year, stupid people doing stupid things have started to negatively impact others, specifically speaking of myself.

I'm not even sure if anything can be done HOWEVER, I received a card in the mail from my local state representative and I decided I was going to provide the information he's asking for - what's important to ME these days.

I had previously thought about reaching out because even though my candidate didn't win the presidency, two of them won here in Washington State (U.S. Attorney Nick Brown & former WA State Attorney General Bob Ferguson for Governor).

Receiving an invitation to do so was just the push I needed.

Bob Ferguson, who has served as Washington State Attorney General since 2013, was elected Governor of Washington in November 2024 and is set to assume office in January 2025.​

It was people using a tool to turn a minor scuffle into a life and death struggle

Giving people a tool to turn minor disagreements into deadly encounters is what defines our society

Daniel Penny used his hands and you and your fellow deranged libs didn’t like him either. Bet that woman on the subway train that was set on fire by an illegal, wished Penny was on that train.

The 19 year old drew his weapon first. Probably an illegal weapon. Now, if the Family man he was in the verbal altercation with believed as you do, it's likely he'd be dead today....And you wouldn't miss a beat...How fucked up is that?

The issue is not what sane people do.

The issue is what crazy people do and who is there to stop them.

This was a developing local story so I do not have a link to a major news source yet, but I believe Nashville picked up on it, so a link will follow. You'll probably not hear much on this in any national media because it doesn't fit the lib agenda.

My wife was shopping alone at our local Walmart here in Clarksville, TN this morning, on Christmas Eve. I was delivering Christmas gifts to my daughter up in Kentucky when we received a call from her on my daughter's phone. She was in a total panic running from the store after hearing numerous gunshots coming from the rear of the store. She told us she was in an aisle toward the front of the grocery section when she heard three loud bangs come from the rear of the store. She and another man who was in the same aisle looked at each other, and he said, "Those are gunshots! Run!". She was already on her way. My wife has had both hips replaced, so she does not run! As she headed for the exit, she two additional shots, a pause, and then 5 more for a total of 10 shots fired. As she neared the front of the store, employees were screaming for everyone to leave quickly. My wife's car was in a handicapped spot, right outside the door, so she jumped in, but could not move because of the people streaming out and the cops arriving near the entrance.

It took a long time before she was able to move her car out of the parking lot and head home. About an hour later we started getting local news reports about the event, and they have been updated throughout the evening.

Apparently a 19-year-old man was causing trouble in the back area of the store with another man (age unknown) which led to a verbal altercation. according to reports, the young man pulled a gun threatening the man and his family with him. At some point, the family man pulled out his own weapon and proceeded to shoot the assailant multiple times. The assailant apparently got off one or two shots and hit the family man whose wound was superficial. Police reports or the media did not specify how many rounds were fired, so I am assuming the family man may have returned fire again after being hit.

The end result was two men shot, nobody dead, with no other injuries reported. The 19-year-old was transported by ambulance to the local hospital with multiple non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. He was later transferred to a hospital in Nashville which is about 45 minutes away. The other man actually drove himself to the local hospital for treatment as it was determined that he was not at fault by numerous witnesses.

Moral of the story: Concealed carry works! That assailant could have conceivably killed dozens depending on how much ammo he had. Apparently, our local police responded in seconds, not minutes. Our family man is a hero, although maybe not the best shot in the world! The fact that he was willing to defend others makes him a hero.

Of course, if neither of the had been armed, the worst thing that might have happened was a fist fight.

The Good Samaritan could have broken that up.

But there would have been no guns going off, and the store would not have emptied out in panic.

In other words criminals misuse guns while honest people use guns to protect themselves

 

[rightwinger]

Why are both crazy?

Because they allowed a simple argument to escalate into a shootout

Criminals do not obey the law

you disarmed the law-abiding man but forgot to search the dirtbag

Result: one injured or dead citizen
