Thanks for the link. One thing about armed self defense: You never know when or where you will need it. Anywhere, anytime.

"An armed citizen gunned down a shooter"

They do have a way with words

Good for him, well done, but I hope I NEVER have to do that.

I hope I never find myself in that situation too .. But I have trained that in the instance that it would happen I am prepared to act with the force necessary to stop the threat !!

Hold on you guys. The incident was over and he followed the man outside the shooting location and THEN shot and killed him. He did not have to do that. He was not "stopping" a shooting-it had occurred and he was outside provoking and shooting a man. My guess is this is going to result in a serious lawsuit.
But keep in mind, we do NOT know all the circumstances. Perhaps he truly DID have to shoot to save further harm to others.
Running out the door AFTER somebody and blazing away at someone LEAVING the scene is not a "necessary shoot" in some opinions.

Actually, the 2nd link says that 3 people were shot- 2 women and young girl and a man fell and broke his arm during the shooting.

Nothing in the article says that anyone chased him outside. In fact it says the shooter shot from outside and 2 bystanders, already outside, removed a gun from their vehicles and approached the 20 yr old shooter (who had ear and eye protection on). Also, "blazing away"? They repeatedly BEGGED for him to drop his gun and he refused and actually shot at them 1st.

Unless, Heaven for bid, that we're one of the ones shot.

Both citizens were outside and retrieved their weapons from their vehicles. They confronted the shooter independently at about the same time and at least one of them repeatedly ordered him to disarm and surrender, which was refused. The shooter was very clearly still a serious threat and the police said today that this was a case of acting to protect the lives of others. The second guessing above is completely off base.

This is about two miles from my house in a restaurant district where there were likely several hundred potential victims. This could easily have become a very bad mass casualty situation had these two men not intervened.

I train only to a modest degree. I admit, I play the odds. I do try to maintain a viable fitness level, however. As the founder and Grande Poo-bah of the Church of Devout Cowardice, I will prefer to escape a bad situation. If possible, if course. Kudos to the conceal carrier!

Until it would actually happen to you/me none of us know exactly what we would do .. we can only draw on past experiences and our level of training ..

But how one has acted in a past experience can be perceived on how one would act again ..

I'm not a HERO and don't plan on being one but I won't go down with out a fight !!

Having survived three deadly force confrontations during my 30 year LEO career it's an experience I am not anxious to repeat.

My sister-in-law once asked me if I would carry a gun in a restaurant. I told her I only carry it when I know I'll need it. I don't think she got the joke. We were walking into a restaurant at the time.
EDIT, the way she put it was "you wouldn't carry a gun to dinner in a restaurant, would you?"
