AZ Concealed Carrier Stops Possible Mass Shooting By Shooting Man Armed With Rifle.
This is a story of a mass shooting that might have been if not for the efforts of a concealed carrier. However, dont expect to see this story on the national news since there were no fatalities.
Several guests, in their 20′s and 30′s were attending a party at a Glendale, AZ home when one of the guests, identified only as a 27 year old male, got into an altercation with several people at the home.
The 27 year old was asked to leave, which he initially did. However, shortly thereafter, the 27 year old returned, this time armed with a rifle.
The suspected shooter fired rounds off outside the home and when he pointed the gun at other guests, a 39 year old guest drew a concealed handgun and fired on the suspect, who was hit by the gunfire.
The concealed carrier waited for police, explained what happened and was released after giving a statement to police.
According to AZCentral.com,
The shooter has been cooperative with investigators, she said. He was questioned and released by detectives.
This is standard procedure under these type of circumstances, Breeden said. Information and evidence detectives have gathered leads them to believe the 27-year-old was not only firing his rifle, endangering partygoers, but also pointed the weapon at other partygoers, endangering them, prior to the 39-year-old displaying a weapon and shooting the 27-year-old.
The shooter is being treated for injuries described as potentially life threatening at an area hospital.
We of course have no way to know how many lives were saved by the actions of the man carrying a handgun, however, based on the actions of the suspect prior to being shot I think we can safely conclude he did not return to the party with honorable intentions.
No license is required to carry a handgun a in the state of Arizona.

The "journalists" will not cover this story, but they WILL cover the Nevada story-where there were fatalaties. There should have been an armed citizen at that site, too.

I have applied for one, twice, in two different counties, but to no avail. They are extremely difficult to obtain here in Taxifornia. One has to be politically connected, or an 'exalted' member of the Entertainment Community. Even retired LEO's sometimes have difficulty in obtaining them.

I would have no difficulty passing a background check. I have a FFL which requires a BG check before issuance.
