Thank the Second Amendment: Armed hero stops possible Florida mass shooting


Washington Examiner  "How can you tell whether or not the liberal media will pick up an incident of gun violence and turn it into a national story? It’s simple: If the shooting is successful, they will give it wall-to-wall coverage for a week. If it is stopped by an armed citizen, however, the liberal media will almost always pretend it never happened or glance over the story with only brief mention or coverage.
"This oversight is perhaps a bit more understandable at the moment, given the national coronavirus crisis consuming the country and dominating media coverage. But it’s still absolutely worth highlighting the heroic story of a Florida man who on Friday shot and stopped an armed shooter who opened fire on shoppers at a shopping center.
“A man with a concealed carry permit reportedly told arriving officers that he shot the woman after she started shooting at customers outside the shopping center,” the Tulsa World reports. “Video reportedly showed the woman was involved in an earlier altercation in the parking lot. The woman left the shopping center and returned about three minutes later, when she pulled a gun and opened fire, according to the news release.”
"Ultimately, the hero, who likely saved numerous lives, was questioned and released by the police." . . .
"Gun-Free" signs would have kept the concealed-carry hero unarmed. Then what?
