Pharmacy Owner Kills Gang Member in Shootout
This case is an example of at least two things:
- Armed people in an active shooting situation - Guns being effective defense No defensive use of gun would likely have meant a dead family and employees. http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews...ner-and-mother http://www.fresnobee.com/2013/01/09/...in-madera.html Quote:

The state of CA was incapable of keeping notorious gang member Aquilla Bailey locked away from guns. Now Bailey has become deceased because of his violent nature.
Good on the pharmacist. |

Aguila Blanca looks a whole lot like Aquilla Bailey. I had to do a double take.

In Florida you can't CCW in a Pharmacy, that robber would have been breaking the law in FL

That didn't sound right, re pharmacies in Florida. Just looked it up on handgunlaw.us, and pharmacies were not on the prohibited list. Hospitals are only on the list if they provide mental health care.
I suppose the site could have missed something in Florida's laws, but handgunlaw.us is normally pretty solid. |

Pharmacy
Good to know, funny the one thing I remembered from my course was wrong.
Think my instructor misread this law. Sounds like you can't but you can. Oh well. If he understood it I don't believe he would have even brought it up. http://www.flsenate.gov/Laws/Statutes/2010/790.145 |

I wonder why we didn't hear about this on mainstream media TV. Good for Lee. Glad noboby was hurt any worse than Sophie was (except for Bailey, of course).

Cases like this almost never get coverage by mainstream media because it does not play into their mindset of being against the private ownership of guns. I'm curious what will happen when the Trayvon Williams (I think that was his name) shooter Zimmerman starts in June. My guess is that it will great coverage, unless the facts start to point in the direction of supporting Mr. Zimmerman, then it will disappear from the media. It also amazes me when incidents where an off duty cop shoots a bad guy who attempted to rob them makes the news, without the reporter ever stating "what about the rest of us without guns, would we be better off if like the off duty cop we had a gun to protect us?"

Vito: Cops are "highly trained" while the rest of us dumb civilians wouldn't know which end of a gun to point at a bad guy and we would probably end up killing everybody within miles
Doesn't fit into the agenda of most reporters.

rehabilitation through reincarnation!
Awfully nice of the criminal to limp away and die outside of the pharmacy.

RamItOne, If I had a dollar for every time an instructor gave me a bad piece of advice...
Moral is, always verify from the source. |

If you believe Lott, guns save LOTS of lives everyday like airbags, apparently even more so. Somebody being saved by an airbag doesn't exactly make the news nationally unless maybe it is a celebrity or the crash victim isn't found for a week or two, still clinging to life. Similarly, singular, double, and even multiple domestic murders often don't command much more than local news either. You probably aren't even aware of all the acts of violence that went on in Chicago or New York for the last few nights, are you? If mainstream media broadcast every positive event that happened in the country along with every negative event, even if those events were just defensive gun shootings and bad guy shootings of good guys, the newscast would last for hours and would get worse when the auto industry started demanding airbag stories be aired. However, to answer your question more directly, it was covered by the mainstream media. The questions you should have asked is why the OP didn't cite a mainstream media sources or why you didn't google it yourself. http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?se...cal&id=8948286 http://abclocal.go.com/kfsn/story?se...cal&id=8949595 http://www.ksee24.com/news/local/Mad...186239032.html How about the followup? http://www.cbs47.tv/news/local/story...49j6WRisQ.cspx Of course, the OP wasn't making a case about the media's coverage of shootings and simply cited sources that covered the material to make the point. So that would answer the first question. The media did its job and covered a local news event.

It was a local event, in no way tied to or similar to some other current events, no reason to go national. It is not a story that would mean one iota to most folks outside of the local area. Quote:

There are in fact bad guys who do use guns in bad ways.
