John Lott tells us that a good guy with a gun stopped a bad guy with a gun at a Florida back-to-school event.
Thankfully, a heroic citizen with a permit to legally carry a concealed handgun was able to save countless lives in Florida Saturday when he shot a gunman who opened fire on a back-to-school event attended by over 150 students at a park in Titusville, Florida.
The full story is here, but you would think that the media would be trumpeting this story. Not so much.
The media rarely give national news coverage to incidents like this, but responsible gun owners have stepped forward in this way many times before to save lives. In fact, concealed handgun permit holders have prevented dozens of mass public shootings just in recent years, while receiving only brief mentions in local news coverage.
Children saved from a crazed gunman by a good guy with a gun simply don't fit the media narrative.
