Yeah, Bob Irwin is a tool. Gun store is also featured here:

He says with no uncertainty that carrying into a store with a sign posted is "a trespassing charge". Dolt.

Not enough facts out on this incident just yet to make a rational conclusion.
Another interesting tidbit to add here is that one of the police involved in the shooting was aquitted after being involved in an earlier questionable shooting. Hmmmmm...
But anyway I look at this incident it comes clear to me that all concerned totally screwed up.

It's good to see the ACLU has people under their flag who stand up for a right thats primarily supported by the right but generally oppressed by the left.

I was just reading through the comments over at the sun's website about this story. I then had to get a baggie and fill it with ice to get rid of the swelling on my forehead from banging it on my desk! 
There is a lot I have to say about this subject but I will save it for Saturday on the strip!!!!

Information is conflicting so far. Since it is reported that Costco was evacuated prior to LE entry, how can someone be an eyewitness from about 6-10 feet away, without being aware if it before LE get there?

This situation makes me wonder if carrying a handgun permit gun badge may have saved the man's life. It may have slowed the events which led to the shooting. A lot of people don't like them, but I would bet the man would still be alive if he wore one.

That would depend upon which version of events is the actual. So far, if he was innocently shopping with a holstered firearm and did no aggressive or suspect acts, you may have a point. But if it is as some other versions show, where he was acting erratically, and unholstered his firearm, a badge of some sort would not change the outcome.
For now, we do not know what happened.

It might have. So far, it seems that the cops weren't all on the same page (one with a TASER, the others with pistols), and the glance of a badge would have likely slowed down their response enough to let them get it under control a different way. Cops worry about being MWAGed in a strange town where they aren't known on sight, where something like this might happen to them, so a flash of gold on the belt would have changed their initial impression of the situation. This would only work if the badge were the right shape and size to appear to be official LEO of some sort.
IF REPEAT IF he drew and pointed it their way, no badge would have saved him. If he didn't have his hand on the pistol in a threatening way, a "CCW brassard" probably would have, simply by giving the cops time to think.
I'm thinking that a "star in a ring" design could be modified -- say, to 8 points -- so that it would not look like someone was impersonating a peace officer, but would give that couple of seconds of "waitaminnit" in a cop's mind.

Sounds like the father has plan... For some reason I really feel for the Scott family.

I also saw a different interview on T.V. Then I read this about the video "Barbara Morgan at Metro PD claims Metro contacted Costco, but Costco was "having trouble" pulling them up from their off-site location due to a "glitch". I understand the investigation is still ongoing but if this is a cover-up I really hope the gun community as a whole takes action.

Its quite humorous to find out that costco miraculously has some "glitch" that prevents them from giving up the video, when by my fractured memory Metro has already made statements that they have seen the video and collaborates the officers statements that scott drew down on them. Im sorry but "glitches" just dont happen conveniently like this. If any suit is brought about costco needs to be named for negligence.

I think Metro is going to bet a serious black eye and the three metro cops that murdered Scott are in for prison time. I've decided that this was a murder, not a case of an officer shooting in defense of his own life. This is not a case where their victim had a questionable past that will get Metro off the hook; this time they shot someone who was a bona fide, genuine good guy. Her served his country honorably, exercised his rights and lived a life as an model of citizenship and in return the very people charged with protecting him shot him as if he was a low-life Pimp, gang member or crack addict.
Now they have a family that is substantially motivated and financially able to bring these metro officers to justice and clear their son's name. In the video interview of his father, you can see that this man is not going to rest until those responsible for this injustice are held accountable. Eric Scott did not deserve to die.
