And THIS is why more guns in the hands of law abiding citizens is always a good thing! Great job by the CPL holder, hopefully the couple with the infant will now realize how important it is to take responsibility for your own self defense and get a CPL themselves.

Especially if you always find yourself being the good citizen and getting involved...didnt take much for the guy to find him a new target, makes you wonder what would have happened had the CPL holder not been there. Thankfully he was though +1 for carrying indeed!

Where are all of those who think that since this CPL holder wasn't directly involved/ threatened that he shouldn't have interjected himself, possibly should be charged with Brandishing?...

How could he be charged with brandishing? Those people say that based on more of their opinion on what to do not necessarily what the law says. Yeah that is some argument on whether the display of a gun without shooting is force other than deadly force but it doesn't seem people are being charged with brandishing in situations like this.

XD is merely making the point that many of the antis would like to see people who have a weapon in view of the public be charged with brandishing, irregardless of the fact that he is using it in defense of others.

/sarcasm I mean, think of that poor child, he may be so traumatized now from seeing a man coming towards him with a knife, and then another man with a gun. Imagine the years of therapy he will need to undergo to get over his PTSD. /sarcasm off

I love how the media makes a big deal out of A CERTIFIED CONCEALED WEAPONS LICENSE/PERMIT HOLDER WHO IS CERTIFIED TO HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE CERTIFIED TO BEAR ARMS - Like, what if he didn't pay the government for permission to carry a gun? If he was an American exercising his RIGHT what would the news article read? An American drew his weapon?

Well actually that place has a liquor license. To carry on their premises you must have a CPL. Besides you need to be certified to exercise your right to bear arms. Everyone knows that.

Hope to see more things like this. (No knife attacks) but more people stepping up for what is right, and very possibly saving lives. Way to go people.

No no....you've got it ALL wrong. The only way to prevent events like these is to BAN KNIVES. We should just institute a background check requirement for any knife, $5 per knife. CERTAINLY this would end senseless violence involving guns, knives, and children...just think of the children!

I turned off the radio this afternoon while I was driving home 'cause they were discussing the FL shooting, had some gal from (I think) Chicago whose son was shot on a city bus by a gang member who was trying to shoot another gang member, & the deceased got hit accidentally.

I can understand that's a terrible thing to have happen, but she kept going on about violence happening because of the "flood" of guns onto the streets.
Lady, your city doesn't allow guns to be carried on the streets.
It barely allows people to keep them in their homes.
So how was it your son was shot with all those laws protecting him? It couldn't have happened, because Chicago has no guns other than the ones that are registered, & those are either unloaded & in a case (being transported) or locked away at a home.

I think it's more a problem of having too many criminals & them knowing that nobody can stand up to them.

Of course he didn't kill the guy! Everyone (all the antis) really knows you don't need a gun to stop an attack like that!
