Permit carrier stops assault in Minnesota, police say [View all]

ST. CLOUD, Minn. — A 22-year-old man with a permit to carry stopped a possible assault in the parking lot of a Minnesota Wal-Mart on Wednesday, according to the St. Cloud Police Department.

Officers were dispatched to an assault at 11:59 p.m. on Wednesday at the Wal-Mart on Second Street South in St. Cloud, according to police.

Officers were told a 22-year-old man and 22-year-old woman were walking to their car in the parking lot when they were approached by a man who would later be identified as Philip Keys, 30, of St. Cloud.

Keys was dragging a baseball bat and asked them if they had ever been hit on the head by one. At that point the two victims began to walk away, but the report indicates Keys approached them and held the bat as though he was going to attack.

I would post this in GD, but since it's not virulently anti-gun it would probably be locked immediately.
