“The father is not expected to face charges, police said.”

I should certainly hope so. They ought to pin a medal on this guy.

A brave dad armed with a pistol stopped what could have been a mass shooting Saturday inside an Alabama McDonald’s when he took down a masked gunman who had stormed in and opened fire.

This is another episode in a long list that gun banners would love to memory hole. An armed citizen breaks everyone of their talking points and by doing so saves an unknown number of people.

I’m betting the Werther Effect was in action here. As Michael Bane has said many times, “Violence is a virus.” Science backs him up. This means that we need to up our situational awareness for a time.

Let’s be careful out there.
