Clackamas Shooter Was Confronted by CCW Holder

Props to him!

I too am starting to carry my CCW everywhere (or will be now as I was lazy about it and only carried when convenient). I hope and pray, that if I am ever in a situation like that, that I have the courage and wits about me to think clearly and do what is necessary without anyone else getting harmed. But until someone is put in that situation, they'll never know how they are going to react, so all they can do is train train train and hope the muscle memory kicks in when it needs to.

Good stuff all right there. Well if the Media won't report it I will just post it all over!

It won't get reported because he refused to be a victim, but he knew his limits and capabilities. He was thinking safety and security the whole time. That is exactly the opposite picture the media wants to paint gun owners.

65 yards??? Jim would have taken it.

Seriously. I think this is why many of us carry. Only a crazy person wants this to happen; but only a prepared person can respond. I have forwarded the story to several people. Maybe when enough blogs pick up the story it will get some traction.

Be safe.

I used to leave my CCW home most of the time. Lately I have been carrying EVERYWHERE. Even on my walk with the dog this morning.

mine never leaves. it is always around. and there is always a spare in each vehicle.

I have mine on now. I have it on from the first thing I get dressed till I rack out. Except the shower.

The web site of the news station reporting it isn't good enough?
