You’ll search the mainstream media a long time before you find it mentioned, but the hero of the shooting in Las Vegas was…<\/p>\n
…a civilian with a carry permit<\/a>:<\/p>\n …the victim at Wal-Mart was a concealed carry holder who actually successfully confronted the male shooter, but didn\u2019t realize that he had a partner in the crime. Mr. Wilcox shot the first shooter. \u00a0The shooter’s wife then shot Mr. Wilcox in the back.<\/p>\n She then slipped behind the concealed carry holder and shot him at close range, unfortunately. This underscores the importance of working on proper shooting drills, especially shaking your head to clear your focus, and maintaining your situational awareness.<\/p>\n But the real point?<\/p>\n . \u201cThis guy (Wilcox) was not some idiot with a gun. \u201cHe had no idea the wife was walking behind him,\u201d the police official said of the murdered man. \u201cThis guy (Wilcox) was not some idiot with a gun. To me, he was a hero. He was trying to stop an active shooter.\u201d\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n And here’s the important part – while the mainstream media will\u00a0never<\/em> report this, Wilcox did precisely what the police are starting to realize is the most important thing to do in mass shootings;\u00a0get fire on target ASAP<\/em>. \u00a0The psychos who do these shootings carry out their acts in a fantasy, a reverie – and taking return fire breaks the reverie for them. \u00a0They then almost inevitably either give up, or shoot themselves (as the killers in Vegas did<\/a>).<\/p>\n This same exact thing happened three days before Sandy Hook, at the Clackamas Mall in Portland Oregon, when citizen Nick Melo, pointing a pistol at a crazed shooter who’d already killed two, caused the shooter to abandon his carefully-laid plan and kill himself.<\/p>\n Or, for that matter, the New Life Christian Center in Colorado Springs, when return fire from volunteer security wounded a spree killer, causing him to withdraw and, shortly, kill himself.<\/p>\n There is no way of knowing how many lives Joseph Wilcox saved by his action. \u00a0Likely many.<\/p>\n And this the example to throw into the fact of the orcs who’d take your right to defend yourself.<\/p>\n They – like the spree killers – live in a fantasy world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You’ll search the mainstream media a long time before you find it mentioned, but the hero of the shooting in Las Vegas was… …a civilian with a carry permit: …the victim at Wal-Mart was a concealed carry holder who actually successfully confronted the male shooter, but didn\u2019t realize that he had a partner in the […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,131],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44749","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crime-and-punishment","category-war-and-peace"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44749","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=44749"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44749\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":44752,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/44749\/revisions\/44752"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=44749"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=44749"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.shotinthedark.info\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=44749"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
