My wife was in Walmart today during a shootout

[Carl in Michigan]

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.

Maybe we should have a law that says violent felons cannot carry guns

Because they allowed a simple argument to escalate into a shootout

Who first pulled a gun?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Moral of the story: Concealed carry turned a minor scuffle into a shootout.
If your wife was carrying, she wouldn’t have had to run. She could have stood her ground and joined in

My wife is not yet trained with her Ruger, but she is now well motivated to start.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Bad news.

ReallyFrom where did he pull it? Good thing he had his gun concealed.

So they both had concealed weapons. Whew that's good! Tell me again who it was who shot first

The victim shot first after the assailant threatened his family and pulled his gun. He did not have it concealed at the time, which was justifiable cause for the victim to shoot first, ask his intentions later. he was then shot, justifying his initial actions even more.

Who first pulled a gun?

The black 19-year old kid with a police record

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Stories like that piss me off and show why we should not allow mental morons to possess guns.

An altercation that should have involved some profanity and some pushing and shoving escalates into a shootout because manly men with guns cannot back down

No. The 19-year-old hot head didn't get his rizz, and pulled his piece to show the man he had cajones!

That's the fact...What RW'er doesn't understand, is that people have a right to defend themselves....I'd like to get to the bottom of why people like him want to render us defenseless....

At which point the other man with a family should have backed away and apologized.

But, no…..he had his own gun

Backing away is no option
Has to show, I am a badass too

Yes you do
That is why minor confrontations turn into deadly shootouts

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Two crazy people with guns turned a Walmart into a shooting gallery

Merry Christmas

Where did you get two? One pulled a gun during an argument. Luckily the other man brought a gun to the gun fight the 19-year-old started.

The young man is lucky neither I nor my prospective son-in-law was present. He is a competition shooter and an Army major who would have dotted both of his eyes before he could blink! I do well enough to end his existence in a heartbeat.

And when retreating is no gain? And the man is shot anyway? Then what would you say?

I cant see how he could fail to undetstand

But instead he’s a broken record

I will be waiting for the news media to report you doing something similar with the wrong nutjob and having your whole family wiped out along with numerous other customers when the situation doesn't go as you expected when you tucked tail.

Because sane people don’t get into a deadly confrontation in a Walmart in front of their family.

Sane people walk away when some idiot starts to argue with you in a Walmart

But you have a gun and get to “Stand your Ground”

You can’t predict that unless you’re in the man’s mind…is that it? You’re a mind reader now?

I have gotten into arguments with people
But I didn’t have a gun to escalate into a shootout

Walk away…..like your wife did

And you are?
Start a shootout……Just in case

Did I say I was? I’m not the one her providing some alternative theory to the events based on my ideological views….

What was the argument about?

Can you walk away from every argument in life?

So, you carry a gun?
