I think the CCW reference validates the shooter .. ie ... not a felon, passed the background, etc.
Yup.
“I think the CCW reference validates the shooter .. ie ... not a felon, passed the background, etc.”
The CCW is turning into a license to own and possess a firearm. The shooter doesn’t really need to validate anything in the press. He doesn’t really need to validate anything to the cops beyond he was attacked with deadly force and responded appropriately.
The story should read something like - Man and his girlfriend are helping their friends move, they are approached by another man who pulls a gun and threatens them. One of the movers uses a firearm to remove the threat, firing several accurate shots hitting the target center mass. The alleged kidnapper, thief was found to have an ankle bracelet for home detention and a criminal background. The alleged criminal died at the scene.
