I watched a few new media clips of a use-of-force event in central Florida(Orlando area).
A armed citizen/W license holder(concealed firearm) shot at a Walmart shoplifter in a crowded parking lot.
The armed citizen(unknown firearm model, unknown ammunition type) was arrested on several criminal charges by the local sheriff's office.
The subject took a few items(meat, steaks) and was contacted by Walmart's loss prevention officers at the front of the store. The subject fled & the armed citizen got involved.
The video & news reports are on a few outlets now. I'm not super web savvy & can't put up the full video links but another TFLer may help,
.
It's important to keep in mind the use of force laws & training standards when carrying a loaded firearm. Please address the issue with any new concealed carry permit or license holders you meet/know.
The huge wave of new gun owners will cause more incidents like this if people do not get formal gun or skills/tactics training.
We(gun owners & 2A supporters) need to avoid bad PR and mishaps as much as we can.
Yes, there are a lot untrained & reckless gun owners out there but groups like the NRA & forums like TFL can help educate-inform new gun owners.
