Actually, I was going to mention that the shooting of Alton Nolan, the

where a gun in the right hands actually worked the way it's supposed
to.

I'm not sure what you mean by "supposed to." Guns are used everyday
to prevent or deter crimes, protection of self, family, and others. It
is a moral responsibility as I see it.

Alton Nolan had already beheaded one female co-worker and was attacking
a second when the chief operating officer of the company, a special
deputy in the local police force, shot him before he could kill that
second female co-worker. As it stands, she was only stabbed but is
expected to make a full recovery.

The scum bag should have been carried out in a body bag. You call the
morgue first, to pick him up - not 911 emergency. Police are always
minutes away; plus, they are not required to protect you. Their main
job is to solve crime after the fact.

I'm not "pro-gun" at all, but I recognize this case as one in which a
properly armed and trained good guy was able to intervene in a disaster
in the making and prevent it from getting worse. Were it not for that
guy using his gun to stop Alton Nolan, then Vaughan Foods could have
been in the headlines as yet another massacre of innocent people;
something that the USA has seen too many of in the past few years.

Decent ordinary law abiding citizens take responsibility, take
training and practice safe gun rules, everyday.

The COO could have saved the state an awful lot of money by simply
killin' the sum beach! He needed killin'.
