It’s starting to become a more and more common headline. “…Legally Armed Civilian intervenes…”
I would hope that it is because the American public is beginning to wake up and take responsibility for their own safety. This story is one of several that I have reported on in the past few weeks.
My only thought, and this might just be the Paramedic in me; is why in the hell the dirtbag was air lifted to the hospital for a non-life threatening leg wound?

Now “Joe Tax payer” has to foot the bill. SMDH
