Oregon Man Arrested

KGW.com reports.



In a later article, KGW published some of the polarizing comments they'd received on this issue.

"What? Arrest the guy who saves the day?"
"Give him a medal and then a badge!"
"It's so satisfying to see instant justice delivered at bullet speed to criminals."

Fellow concealed handgun licensee, Lars Larson always has an opinion and it's no different here.

"Shooting the tires out is something they do in Hollywood, even the police don't do it," said Larson.

Larson said he was angry that Witter's actions gave a bad name to those who lawfully carry concealed handguns.

"He was going against the law and to a certain extent making the case for those people who would like to take my rights away and I don't appreciate that," explained Larson.

What's your opinion? I guess the first commenter didn't realize the bad guys got away in spite of the dramatics. But, what do you think about Lars Larson's remarks? Does Witter give all the other CCW guys a bad name? Wouldn't it be better for other gun owners to support Witter as an example of manly virtues?

    Yes.

    "Wouldn't it be better for other gun owners to support Witter as an example of manly virtues?"

    That's not even worth a serious response.

  2. "Not worth a serious response?" Why not? Your answer might be no, but it is a fair question. The guy carries a concealed gun, he believes in right and wrong, and is not afraid to intervene when he sees a crime. Those are "manly virtues." are they not? What would you have done?
