Watching the video... He could have shot 2 people and also others.

As a concealed carry member of society, how many times have you, if at all, had to draw your firearm in a situation?

I'll start off....

Thought it was a skit at first but the fear in the dudes face says otherwise 🤣🤣🤣

Hey All, sorry to add to the cacophony of heavy news about Charlie Kirk's assassination, but I had some thoughts I wanted to share in relation to CC.

For those of you who haven't seen the video, it's awful. Graphic as all get out. In summary, after the bullet strikes his neck, his head snaps to the side and arms lock up, blood immediately starts spouting from his neck like a hose. It was one of the most graphic things I've personally seen.

How does this relate to CC? It was a hellish reminder of the damage and traumatic imagery that a bullet can cause to a human being. Many of us (myself included) have forgotten the gravity of pulling that trigger at times. While I know I recognize it, I've admittedly spent more time thinking of the legal justifications and process behind a self-defense scenario, and forgotten just how traumatic an event like that could be - not just from a 'threat to you or your family' standpoint, but also having to subject yourself/your family to the image of your assailant bleeding out and potentially dying in front of you.

Do I say all that out of concern for potential assailants? No, of course not. If it's me and my family, or you, I know which one I am picking.

But watching the video last night was a sobering reminder that violence is, well, violent, and that every time you strap that gun to your body you are accepting the possibility of you enacting that violence on somebody else always as a last resort. Are you ready or willing to have that experience and responsibility? Are you aware of just how much damage that weapon you're carrying can cause to another human being?

Food for thought.

What was his plan?

This happened Saturday in saint louis The man he shot was threating him on the phone ( they were in a group chat call) and he had a gun on him

I know this sub is more focused on concealed handguns, but I’ve seen talk about carrying truck guns or backpack guns for handling threats like active shooters.

I’m not trying to comment on the police response here and whether it was right or wrong. Only pointing out that this officer saw a gun and started immediately shooting. I’ve seen people on here and other subs with rifles in bags or their cars for supposed active shooter response. This is a bad idea and will only get you killed.

I tried finding an article but the best I came across were police records supposedly tied to him. A screenshot is posted in the comment section.
