"The only thing that stops a BAD guy with a gun, is a GOOD guy with a gun.

I'm sure CNN and MSNBC have been reporting on it all day today, right? Anyone see their coverage?

Me neither....

TITUSVILLE, Fla. - An armed bystander shot a man who open-fired on a back to school event at a Titusville park following a fistfight, police said. 

The shooting occurred at Isaac Campbell Park on South Street shortly after 5:20 p.m. when the shooter, whom police have not identified, returned to the park after a fistfight and began firing. 

A bystander licensed to a carry a firearm then shot the shooter, who was flown to a nearby hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. 

“We are extremely grateful that nobody else was injured in this incident,” said Deputy Chief Todd Hutchinson. “This suspect opened fire at a crowded public park, this could have been so much worse."

When I first saw the post title I was thinking Titusville, NJ.

How do you think that would have turned out for the good guy?

It wouldn't because only cops and criminals are allowed to carry in NJ. Law abiding citizens aren't allowed to protect themselves.
