    It's one little story with few details on a subject which already occupies more threads than it deserves. How many gun threads are there already? The horse is dead, no need to beat it.

    Agreed. One thread should be enough.

    There are multiple threads about many subjects.

    Anyway, this reminded me of the scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark.

    Gun vs. sword!

    Just scary that you can be minding your own business, going about your day, and someone else comes along and turns everything upside down. Glad this person wasn't able to hurt more.

    He was stopped and that was good, no reason to argue about that. :)

    (But it's just not safe if everyone would walk around with a gun.)

    The 'upside' to concealed carry.

    Big whoop. It doesn't topple the downside in any way.

    * And like the others have said... why another thread for this incident?

    Usually these type of stories dont get the attention of the press. Its when no one intervenes and people die that the press is all over it. Sad but true

    Well the other titled thread doesn't really apply to this hero.

    Fact: Far more people die because of our shitty gun laws then are "saved" by our shitty gun laws.

    Hats off to the guy but a guy with a knife can be stopped very effectively with a baseball bat. The bat doesn't have to be autographed or anything special.

    We already have multiple threads for this such as the 'good guy shoots talkative guy in movie theater' thread (finally everybody gets to watch the show without that annoying voice... sheesh!).

    What agenda?

    For every 'good guy stops attack' story, there's at least 3 'idiot with a gun shoots someone for no reason' stories.

    That agenda?

    Exhibit A

    Exhibit B

    Exhibit C

    I think the point to make here is that, once again, the "good guy" has a pistol and not an assault rifle.

    That point is moot.

    Stats shows that "assault rifles" are used in less than 1% of crime.

    If it is everything that is evil for you it is also everything good for us.
