Couldn't find the interview I was looking for but according to the interview he did with fox he did not draw the weapon as I had originally thought he had.

The CHL holder never removed his weapon from his holster during that incident. His biggest mistake was telling the MSNBC reporter that he almost shot the guy. Using that thought process I guess I almost shoot someone everyday.jmra wrote:This almost happened in the AZ shooting. A guy in a store heard the shooting and ran out of a store with gun drawn. He came around the corner and saw a guy pointing a gun at a guy on the ground. He almost fired but didn't.
The guy pointing the gun was another CHL who was helping subdue the shooter.
1. You are not a cop. Do not run to gunshots!
2. If you don't KNOW what's going on, you DON'T KNOW what's going on.
3. Shooting a bad guy will change your life forever. Shooting the wrong guy will change your wife and kids lives forever.

I took a closer look at my post and now it looks as though I was being a little on the snarky side towards you. I assure you I wasn't trying to.
Didn't take your reply that way at all. We're good.
"I came out of that store, I clicked the safety off, and I was ready, I had my hand on my gun. I had it in my jacket pocket here." He goes on to say he felt "very lucky" he didn't shoot the wrong guy.
So, to be accurate, my post should have read, "A guy in a store heard the shooting and ran out of a store with his hand on his gun with the safety off. He came around the corner and saw a guy pointing a gun at a guy on the ground. He said he felt really lucky that he didn't shoot the wrong guy."
I should have gone back and looked at the story again before posting to ensure accuracy, but I think this still applies to the concern of the OP.
