Elisjsha Dicken – The Good Guy with a Gun at the Greenwood Mall

15 Seconds to stop an active shooter.

Persons with a CCW stop many crimes daily, often without a shot being fired. Which is always a good thing. This gentleman stopped a threat using like force. Nothing more, nothing less. Millions of men and women across the country (yes, millions) are willing and able to do the same thing if called upon.

@rfatoday gun con-troll-ists deny the truth about how defensive gun use overwhelms criminal gun use.

@BizSuitStacy Yes indeed. In my opinion that's because although most mean well, their basis is emotionally driven as opposed to factually driven. Sure, if nobody was armed then very few crimes involving a firearm would happen. But reality is millions of guns are here and criminals will not follow laws. Which means "gun free zones" such as malls and so forth are essentially open-season for those with evil intent. I believe this fellow violated that policy (I could be mistaken). Either way, he put 8 out of 10 shots on target from 40 yards. That's very controlled considering the adrenaline kick he must have experienced.

@rfatoday Agreed, though the constant push to disarm law abiding citizens gets tiresome. And that level of competency with a handgun under pressure is nothing short of amazing.
