Is that the thing with packing a gun?
You don’t want people to think you are a wuss?

That's not what he said you dishonest puke....

Maybe he couldnt walk away

Most of the victims of crazy insane mass shooters did not verbally incite their killer

And they had no weapon to defend themself, so they died

The man's got a legitimate point. Do you have a family? I do. I would never initiate or participate in any confrontation with anyone for any reason with my wife and children standing by. You'd have to be a really dickless loser with no personal character or self confidence to trade off insults and slander for the sake of a weak ego.

And you know the two subjects of the thread? You seem to be assuming a lot....

I was getting some groceries the other day. I was waiting in line to use the self-checkout. Since the store was really busy, I was standing back a bit to clear a path for people to walk through.

An old lady didn't see me and cut in front of me when one of the self-checkouts opened up.

Guns should have been drawn to handle this situation. Pew pew.

If you really believe that, do us all a favor, and never buy a gun...

Yea

Walmarts are like that
Hard to move to a different aisle

This guy is not a mass shooter
He is a jerk starting an argument
Just leave or call a manager

But if you have a gun
Stand your ground

Why?

I need to be able to stand my ground in the event of a minor altercation that could otherwise be easily handled without any violence whatsoever.

Pew pew pew.

Problem with your assessment is that we have NO idea what led up to this, or how it transpired....So, you really have no idea if it could have been settled that way or not...

Simple! and I paraphrase my own words: “You'd have to be a really dickless loser with no personal character or self confidence to trade off insults and slander, allowing it to escalate into a shooting match in the presence of your wife and children.” That trumps anything you have to say.

For all we know, they may have shot each other over the last jar of Jiff peanut butter.

What possible scenario could have occurred here where an altercation between two men needed to escalate to shooting each other at a Walmart?

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.

Great report. Honestly, with that much shooting, things could have been a lot worse. I read the story in the press due to your reporting.

I can’t believe you respect a “family man” who escalated a verbal altercation into a shooting match with your wife in the store

We don't know that's what happened...

You'd need to ask the 19 year old who decided to draw his weapon...

Obviously not an intelligent decision for either of these idiots.

Despite the cops best efforts, their response time usually places them witness to the aftermath

Especially in the rural contingent

An ex-NYPD bought a local market here, he's outfitted every store clerk with a sidearm
