Shooting at a Charleston Wafflehouse

[virginia mountainman]

Snippets from the article:

....“He saved us, that’s what he did,” a Waffle House employee told The Post and Courier......

.....According to Johnson, the customer who shot the suspect had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. She said police are not pressing charges against him at this time.

“It’s says something about firearms,” said a uniformed officer at the scene, “for good people with firearms being in the right hands.” ......

.....“No one was hurt, which is the best part,” Rogers said. “No one was injured – besides the suspect.”...

Some People around here labor under the impression that what happened in the article, absolutely never happens, They are lying to you.

2. This is the second time that a customer

shot and killed a robber at a Waffle House. I was entirely on board with the first one. The robber wanted all the customers to get on the floor. I thought it was perfectly appropriate to not give up the last advantage of the CCW owner and put himself totally at the mercy of the robber.

4. Who walks into a Waffle House and doesn't expect half the patrons to be armed?

5. So he stopped a mass murder.

Maybe, maybe not, right? We can't know because the guy was stopped!


If the permitee had shot the guy after the robber had shot, say, 9 people, the talking point would have been "see, see, CCW doesn't stop mass shootings!"

6. I wonder if some of the controllers even know the meaning of Catch 22?
