Earlier this week, we wrote about the story of a Hmong man on the East Side of Saint Paul who was beaten badly by a crowd of youths. The attack ended when the man’s wife came out of the house with her gun (and her carry permit).
Kudos to WCCO for being the sole news outlet that didn’t bury the lede.
I do not see how it is possible to come to any conclusion other than that both the non-white attackers and the non-white attacked were all victims of white privilege.
They also did the correct thing in not firing at the attackers when the thugs decided to retreat.
The anti-2nd amendment rights crowd said CC holders will be engaging in shootouts.
It took a week, but the Strib reported (in the last paragraph of the story) that a witness with a permit to carry defended a man who had just been shot 3 times over a pair of Air Jordans in Brooklyn Park. The permit holder wounded the other shooter in the leg, causing him to wait until the ambulance arrived, rather than escaping.

Oh, and this over the weekend from the state of Washington:

So, by my count, since last summer and starting with the Broadbent shooting, there have been four cases in the Twin Cities where a permit holder stopped crimes. Broadbent was killed, as was a would-be robber in Brooklyn Park in February (the robber was armed and exchanged fire with his would-be victim), the attempted Air Jordan’s heist last week that resulted in the victim being shot three times before the permit-holder shot and wounded the robber, and the St. Paul case with where the “youths” assaulted a man for objecting to their dicing in his driveway and were driven off (without gunfire) by the man’s wife (a permit holder) coming outside with her gun.
Am I missing any more local cases of a good guy with a gun? DG, can you fact check that for me?
