A lot of folks are concerned about how CCW is being credited or not credited for ending the recent mass shootings but lets look at what happened in each instance.
Nebraska Mall Shootings: No CCW holders available to help because of mall policy. Shooter continues killing till police close in, then Robert Hawkins kills himself.
Utah Mall Shootings: Kenneth K. Hammond, an off duty cop takes out the shooter because he ignored mall policy about carrying his weapon on the property.
Colorado church shooting: Jeanne Assam, a member of the security ministry at the New Life church engages and shoots Matthew Murray, 24 who was armed with a rifle and more than 1,000 rounds of ammo. She saved countless lives and was able to respond immediately because she was armed and at the scene.
So what happened? Credit the police for the Nebraska shooter killing himself? And definitely credit armed citizens who were present at the time of the other two attacks with stopping the other two shooters. The conclusion is stark and clear. Armed citizens is the best defense. There is no way for anti-gunners to spin these events. The actions of each event speak volumes.
