#concealed carry

CBS is reporting that Fort Worth police say a man was shot and killed on Ross Avenue after he was allegedly dragging a woman down the street while armed with a machete. Neighbors heard her screaming for help, and one stepped in. According to investigators, that resident confronted the attacker and opened fire only after the man with the machete turned toward him, ending the assault in seconds.

This is the kind of moment we train and carry for, not fantasy, not “hero complex,” but the ugly reality that violence sometimes shows up on your own street when there is no time to wait for backup. A responsibly armed neighbor turned what could have been a homicide scene into a self‑defense shooting and a rescued victim, and that is exactly why ordinary citizens fight so hard to keep their right to carry in public.
