There was a recent shooting in Tyler Texas, which Geek has covered pretty well.
David Hernandez Arroyo Sr., embroiled in bitter child support dispute dresses for war and opens fire on ex wife, son and bystanders.Now, there is no doubt that the intervention of Mark Allen Wilson saved the life of Mr. Arroyo's son. Wilson, who was lawfully carrying a concealed handgun, was able to draw fire from Arroyo long enough for Arroyo's son to escape. Mr. Wilson paid for his good deed with his life.He is engaged by police and at least one, possibly two CHL holders.
He kills 2 wounds many, is killed by police after car chase.
But the gun control lobby knows that acts of heroism and bravery with a firearm must never be recognized. Perhaps that is what prompts Marsha McCartney, the Dallas Chapter President of the Million Mom March, to dance on his grave.
"Concealed Handgun carriers sometimes commit crimes and sometimes are heroes. Unfortunately, the hero part doesn't happen very often and what if he had hit a bystander while he was firing?"The Million Mom March is a tax-exempt gun ban group organized in part by felons convicted of violent crimes.
That quote from the Dallas MMMarch prez got my blood up! Had to go to their website and leave a message.
Made *me* feel better, at least!
