A tragic event unfolded last night in Indiana, with a shooting at a mall resulting in the loss of three lives. However, it could’ve been much worse had it not been for the actions of a good Samaritan legally carrying a firearm.
After killing three and injuring several others, the gunman fell at the feet of a 22-year old civilian brandishing a firearm, utilizing it for the sake of protection.
Greenwood Police Department Chief Jim Ison praised the hero-with-a-gun, stating, “The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began.”
With the growing number of active shooting events, this could be an indication that privately-armed citizens utilizing concealed-carry could provide an answer to slowing the death count.
Joining us now to discuss this further is Michael Letts, who serves as founder and CEO of InVest USA. They are an organization that provides bulletproof vests to police officers, through a number of charitable foundations and sponsorships. We welcome him to the program.
Q&A:
- What is it about concealed-carry that you think works so well in situations such as these?
- Do you believe the solution to this event could serve as a wake-up call for various states to adopt a concealed-carry program? We know a few already have an active one going already.
- Do you believe circumstances would have been different from previous events if someone utilizing concealed-carry had been on the scene?
- This seems to be a far cry from Biden’s proposed solution to ban assault rifles altogether. Do you believe he should take a new sense of focus from what occurred in Indiana?
- What would you say to this 22-year old hero if you had the chance to speak with him? What would you recommend he do next?
- Where can we learn more about In-Vest USA?
