Pico tried to get on my case in the Ferguson, Missouri, shooting case

by a LEO. Tried to tell me about laws or that I should check the law.

I pointed out that I'm retired LEO and understand certain laws on use

of force. Application of that force and when to administer it in a

judicial way.



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

recently converted Jihadist, in Moore, Oklahoma, is a perfect example of

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

to.



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.



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.




Did you also notice how little attention the media gave it? Any interviews
with the hero? Any followup at all? Very little
coverage, they just reported that a co-worker there who was armed
shot the guy, ending it. Compare that to the coverage you get when
someone uses a gun to commit a crime. The vast majority of cases where
a fire arm is legally used to stop a crime, save a life, etc are never
reported at all. This one, they had to, because the murder and what
happened was so heinous.
