Thorvir Posted July 1, 2016 #3 Share Posted July 1, 2016 (edited) Hey, I just saw this as well (sorry if it ends up being off-topic, though I can't see how)http://bearingarms.com/jenn-j/2016/06/28/want-a-gun-free-zone-tennessee-says-thats-on-you-literally/ Tennessee will now allow carry permit holders to sue owners of gun-free zones for stripping them of their right to self defense if they are harmed while in that zone. Good to see a couple of cases of common sense when it comes to firearms here. Apparently, from some of the comments, there is a similar law that's been in place in Wisconsin for a while, and I think Indiana too (I'll get to checking--it true, another reason why I love this state). Again, this is all nice and refreshing to read about. Edited July 1, 2016 by Thorvir Hrothgaard 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business as usual. The truth is too much for "them" to handle at most times, and their preference is to stick their heads in a hole and pretend reality isn't actually real. If it clashes with their pre-conceived, uninformed and basically bigoted notions about how evil guns and gun owners are, then they'll run for the hills in fear of it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+and-then Posted July 1, 2016 #8 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I applaud S.C. for their loosening restrictions on lawful citizens' possession of weapons but I'd still steer clear of any bar I didn't know well, when anyone could carry. These days people don't seem to need much of an excuse to go "full stupid" and alcohol seems to lubricate the switch, so to speak. I'm glad no one died. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What attention are you expecting, does this rebut something someone has argued here? Did someone argue that people with CCW permits will never stop a shooting?

What they actually want us to say is that a barroom brawl is not really a mass shooting, even if some want to make it look that way. I wonder if they will also report it if a drunk concealed carrier is the shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted July 1, 2016 #12 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Quote According to Bearing Arms, Thompson had a criminal record dating back to 2003 and should not have legally had a gun. But apparently, gun control didn’t keep this criminal from getting it. Shocking, right? Meanwhile, liberals have been trying to take guns away from people like the man who ended this mass shooting, legal gun owners who want to defend themselves. The media is along for the ride. That’s why the fact that a potential Orlando-style mass shooting, minus the terrorist motivation, isn’t being covered — because a legal gun owner was able to stop it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the individual was trained then it proves the point that trainin is vitally important. If he was just a random guy plugging holes in paper then it shows that yes random people can stop shootings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any reports of him being ex-military, ex-LEO or anything else. That would have been a key point if it had been discovered to be a fact. And, on a side note, this was no barroom brawl. Not a single blow was reported. A thug, who had no legal right to have a gun, pulled out a weapon and tried to kill numerous people. It is also illegal to carry a gun while drinking. The guy who saved these people wasn't arrested so we can assume he hadn't been. Edited July 1, 2016 by Michelle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're desperately trying to find something to complain about with this, trying to find something to cling to in order to do anything to shore up your arguments. His training level is irrelevant. Your whining is irrelevant. All this is, is an example of someone doing the right thing. You'll just have to live with it, being wrong isn't the end of the world, you know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, this isn't a case of a drunken gunfight. Thompson was shooting people, including shooting at the unidentified man who shot back and stopped him. Thompson was shot in the leg. Not a kill shot, but one that can put someone down and out of action. IMHO, the man reacted with good common sense using just enough force to stop what was happening. Thompson is in custody and will survive to face trial. And others were prevented from being injured. Edited July 2, 2016 by susieice 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unidentified man did well to save so many people and showed a great deal of restraint in not eliminating the threat completely. Not sure of the civil laws in the U.S. do you think that Thompson could sue the good samaritan who shot him? Such a legal nightmare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laws vary from state to state. I'm sure some of the gun owners in here can answer this question better than I.
