m gardner Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 This is waht happens when you use a firearm to stop what was becoming a mass murder and protect the cops too.

Adjam5 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Horrible that anyone but the perp died. But...It could have been a lot worse if that resident did not have a firearm to assist the ploice. The sheriff himself said that. The media will never cover this story. Thanks for sharing it Mark.

Rhino Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Yep...the media won't touch that one. There's 2 police officers that are glad the resident was there at the right time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjam5 Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Is this "main stream" enough? Bug you have to expect Texas to cover that story like a heros welcome home. This story will never get any coverage in the north east, the left coast(Kalifornia) or in Illinois. By withholding information to the public...it is the same as lying to the public. We only hear about the incidents that sell papers and push the media's agenda of disarming the populace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bug House Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Shootings at Trailer Park in Brownwood, Texas I see what you mean, however any local story can be picked up nationally at any time. I've read 2 pro- gun articles on CNN in the last week. I don't feel a story like this is suppressed for any other reason than by chance.

The Bug House Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Shootings at Trailer Park in Brownwood, Texas Perhaps it's a ploy, but I have seen hardly any mention of Gun control in the news lately. Media was chomping at the bit after the CO shooting, but the only noise was the same old rhetoric from the same old unimportant, un-influential loudmouths. The casino robbery that was foiled by an armed citizen gained a ton of national coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 4, 2012 Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 i don't think people should be just allowed to carry without taking a manditory amount of training courses. i mean you've got to be able to shoot well and have training to act and perform under pressure. things have to be second nature. that said i wished gun laws didn't prevent so many from carrying period. i still feel this is the type of perfect example of why people in general should have guns. there's a reason many country houses go unlocked, compared to those in populated areas. generally people in the country have guns and people in the city don't. similar concept, if i'm a potential shooter of innocent people in mass, i'm not going to think twice about going into a crowd that i think would be packing heat.

That is exactly what the antis DON'T GET. So lets make people into sheep to be slaughtered and unprotected. All respect to law enforcement...but they usually come after the crime has been committed. We have the unalienable right to self defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 i don't think people should be just allowed to carry without taking a manditory amount of training courses. And who is going to decide the curriculum and testing methods for these courses ?? Who is going to decide whether you are "fit and competent" to defend your life or the lives of others ?? A government bureaucracy ......... the BATF........... would. And we ALL know how competent and trustable they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we ALL know how competent and trustable they are. don i was waiting for someone to comment on that part. i suppose i could've elaborated. worded things differently maybe. i don't think there's any easy way to determine what's good enough. i don't think that it should be just another application and fee to get a concealed carry permit and states to bring in more money. here you basically have to plead your case and show that you're an active user of your handgun. you've taken more courses than just the bare minimum to get a pistol permit and maybe you've been to competitions too. basically you're handgun isn't sitting in a holster or storage, acquiring dust. you're at least trying to be educated, safe, and skilled. i think that's fair enough. i've only thought about this stuff in the past several years after friends, school mates, and co-workers have made me nervous with their gun handling and ideas of what's "safe".

m gardner Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 dbHunter; I get exposed to unsafe gun handling on a weekly basis. From what I see it's from the general attitude of our society that "knowledge is power", so reading a book on safety is okay and "I make up my own reality" or "Everything is okay for me", so they have no discipline and are basically uncorrectable. You cannot get through this attitude easily. Some of the worse are cops who come to compete. They invariably keep their finger on the trigger when changing magazines and while moving between target arrays and they get angry when you correct them. Thank God most only come once. The ones who keep coming usually become excellent shots. So here there are only about 500 of us who would qualify. We're the ones who can "run with scissors" and do it safely. Good thing owning a firearm is a right and I can't take it from you because most of you wouldn't have one from what I see. :whip: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 well mark these people you speak of would still make it through the cracks and have handguns and the world is not going to end. however, to have a concealed carry permit and be among the general public with your weapon at the ready, you'd better be safe. peoples lives depend on it. people would be reprogrammed and learn to be safe.

m gardner Posted August 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 There are hundreds of people here that carry (we don't require a permit) and nothing crazy has happened except a guy shot himself in the penis a while back while pulling a gun out of his pants. His girlfriend left him shortly after. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go figure. oohhhhhhh.... not good. lol as i said many are safe to the point the world won't end. i was brought up with very strict standards for gun safety though. i don't think it's not warranted either. i think it's important not to get complacent with safety. it is horrible that the couple and their dogs had to die in the eyes of tht guy. at least no other innocent people were injured or killed. more will surely happen at some point in the future. hopefully the situations are similar to this one or better.

Dawg Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm about 6 hours to the east of Brownwood......this is the only place I've heard this news. Our local stations didn't cover it. I am hoping Texas becomes open carry soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgreene18 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 but yet people are upset over gun control, yeah last time i checked criminals dont follow the law and if they're crazy enough to kill they will find a way to get it. meanwhile if we we are walking around with no guns, we are nothing more than fish in a barrel to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
