Concealed Carrier Prevents Another US Nightclub Shooting - News Silent

Deputies said 32-year-old Jody Ray Thompson pulled out a gun after getting into an argument with another man and fired several rounds toward a crowd that had gathered out in front of the club.

"His rounds struck 3 victims, and almost struck a fourth victim, who in self-defense, pulled his own weapon and fired, striking Thompson in the leg," Lt. Kevin Bobo said.

Bobo said the man who shot Thompson has a valid concealed weapons permit, cooperated with investigators, and won’t be facing any charges.

The left-wing media fails to report this and only ever seems to cover how guns are bad and must be banned. Obama has to be the worst president ever, literally just a publicity figure :rofl:

well it would have been different if the body count was >0
Oh, okay then. Guns must be great because only 4 people got shot.


Dumbass.
Perhaps if the man who pulled the gun hadnt had one in the first place, then there would be no attack to deter?
How many homicides due to guns are there in the US compared to the UK? Per 100,000 will do.

The vast majority of those are actually suicides which are classified as homicides.

So you're telling me 4 injured isn't better than having 49 dead?

Still doesnt get past the fact if the man hadnt had a firearm in the first place there would have been a much lower risk of fatalities.

But the rates per 100,000 are:

Homicides
UK 0.06 v US 3.43 = US rate 57.2 times the rate of the UK

Suicides

UK 0.15 v US 6.69 = US 44.6 times the rate in the UK.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2013 there were just over 11,200 homicides and 73,500 injuries by firearm.

I would rather him shoot Thompson in the head, everyone paying taxes would prefer this outcome also.

And 0 injuries is better than 4 injuries.

Checkmate.
The person is a legal gun owner with permit. No one is trying to stop legal gun owners with permits from owning gun.

No, one is less bad but neither are 'ok' or 'good'.

I'm sorry I do not follow along with your one-dimensional argumentative style.

And gun laws do not make either magically disappear as proven over the last year in France at the Bataclan, Turkey with Instanbul, or Dublin in Ireland.

Terrorists and criminals will always get their hands on "assault weapons", they do not follow gun laws.

Armed police can not be everywhere so concealed carry in the case of the US is the answer, hence why more states are allowing it.
