Armed Civilian Corner: Licensed Gun Owner Almost Shot Because of an Unfortunate Accident
Thank God for Surveillance Video! This was an unfortunate incident all around and although I feel the cop was not justified in his actions and should be fired, this is what I take away from it: Anytime you have a Legally Armed Civilian who is irresponsible with his firearm, either intentionally or unintentionally, (as in…
Students for Concealed Carry Statement on the Student Murder at UT-Austin
