Re: Being mistaken as the bad guy

I took issue with talking heads like Rachel Maddow saying he almost shot the guy. How does that happen when the gun didn't even come out of the holster? Come to think of it, I need to find out what kind of holster he had so that if I ever have to shoot someone I won't have to take mine out either.

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.
Man that story just grows and grows. 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.

I saw an interview done with a female reporter in which I thought I recalled him saying he pulled his weapon as he was exiting the store. I will see if I can find it - if not, it would not be the first time I was wrong. Still working on that whole perfection thing. :mrgreen:

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.
