Good Guy With a Gun Saves Trooper

I just saw this on CNN, of all places, and thought it was share worthy. Maybe the narrative is changing, if only a little.

It's always good to have this type of positive publicity. Need more of it.

There's more I'm sure. We could almost use a thread on this alone. Most May Issue states claim that the presence of more armed citizens puts Law Enforcement at risk. The opposite is actually the case.

Thanks krucam. These are the kinds of news reports I like to see. Unfortunately, the media suppresses these for political reasons, I believe. Funny how these events are treated as isolated incidents, but any negative action of any gun owner anywhere, seemingly represents us all. What goes unnoticed and unreported is how these good samaritans have not taken an oath to protect and serve, but act anyway out of good conscience. And would they have stopped at all if not allowed to carry their gun? Doubt it. He may have called the police. But then again, the police were already there...
