    He has prior training. He can insert himself as he pleases same as an off duty cop.

    Houstonian with CHL
    _____

    Where is the proof this person had a CHL and the training that goes with it?

    I'm sure that info was volunteered by the police.

    So a moment of unlawful, nonaggressive possession warrants engagement, lethally, from a lawful gun owner? This is an avoidable mentality issue.

    Guns were no issue until the "hero" unveiled his tool.

    I sure hope a gun toting vet is able to gun down all these dwi "thugs" some time soon...the world would be a much better place. I know I am safe when someone can kill someone driving erratically.

    If a CHL is all you need to "insert" yourself into a situation and start shooting then all sane folks need to hide.

    Fun fact: I was heading to work on Hardy southbound a few months back and saw a guy in a white Hyundai sedan venting his road rage on a woman driving a Corolla. I was wondering wtf his problem was when I saw his license plate that read CHL-001. Coincidence? I doubt it.

    Agreed. But active engagement isn't the best solution, hell, it never is. deterrence initially is far better than escalation.

    You sure seem overly skeptical of minor point that was reported by KHOU. Do they have credibility issues?


    CHL holders are statistically very unlikely to commit any crime. What are you trying to say?

    Neighbor Kris Martin said, "This is our neighborhood and I just want to say thank you. My kids go in that game stop and it could've been anyone's child."

    Yeah, down the street from my house.

    North Shore needs to up the ante with cutting down crime

    I was at the GNC yesterday.

    what is "nonagressive" about armed robbery with your face covered in the middle of the day?

    If you want to know the Texas penal code on the use of deadly force google it. DWI doesn't qualify.

    No armed robbery here. Armed came into question when CHL guy confronted.

    No guns were used to obtain property or intimidate the victims. Guns were used to escalate a minor heist..

    Gun fire exchange. Parking lot full of people. Stores full of people. Glass door of nearby yogurt shop shattered. Thanks goodness no one else got hurt, but easily someone could have been. Not worth it over games, at all.

    You only need a few hours of training to obtain CHL. Don't equate that to police training. Military training belong to military operation. I recall CHL training said... don't think we are cops or superhero, at all cost except self defense of you or others, avoid pulling your weapon. Don't put yourself in a situation where you have to fire you weapon. (and of course if you fire you weapon, you shoot to kill). This is putting yourself in a situation where you have to fire your weapon, over stolen games. Maybe he saw someone was in morbid danger and that certainly justify his actions, otherwise, I said it was unnecessary as it put more people at danger. (plus, judgement and experience would tell you the type of people that would rob a gamestop -- probably kids).
