(Newser) – A shooting incident at a Louisiana gun store and shooting range on Saturday left three people dead, including the “initial shooter,” the BBC reports. Two other people were injured in the shootout, which occurred ----

People who were attending a conceal-and-carry course at the store during the incident told the AP that the gunfire was much louder than the muffled shooting that comes from the shooting range. “It got extremely loud, like a bomb almost,” Wanetta Joseph said, adding that she and other students hid beneath a table. ----


So much for the idea that concealed carriers are going to protect us from mass shootings eh?

A maniac entered the gun store and started shooting.
According to an article "then several other people — whether employees or store customers — opened fire on the shooter,"


If that maniac would have entered a school, a government building or any other kind of business there probably would have been more people shot long before a cop would have got there.

What this indecent showed was that evil person with gun can be stopped by a good guy with a gun.

Detroit police chief James Craig has repeatedly called on “good” and “law-abiding” residents to arm themselves against criminals in the city. But he must be a redneck racist.....oh wait, I forgot he's a black man.

In 2015 Detroit Police Chief James Craig announced that Detroit would likely be spared a terrorist attack because so many of the city's residents are packing heat.
"A lot of Detroiters have CPLs (concealed pistol licenses), and the same rules apply to terrorists as they do to some gun-toting thug," Chief James Craig said, according to the Detroit News. “If you’re a terrorist, or a carjacker, you want unarmed citizens."

???..It proves that concealed or in plain site a law abiding, gun toting citizen can and will protect other citizens from harm once the shooting has started. The more of these attacks where the suspect is stopped or killed by his own peers might just stop the next guy before he acts.

I was just at my local range last week and put 50 rounds trough my 1911, as much as I like it that's $50 so I called it good.
I did notice some flaky looking people there I've never seen before, this news is food for thought and made me glad I have the habit of always having my spare magazine so even if I go through all my ammo I've still got 7 rounds.

I think Chris Rock did a routine where he said instead of trying to curb gun sales, if we just raised ammunition prices to like $1,000 a bullet, it would do a lot to cut down on shootings in this country.

And all that would be accomplished is turning law abiding people like myself into criminals thus allowing criminals to remain criminals by me supporting their criminal activity so I could buy my ammo illegally.
