    It has been all over the news here. I won't comment to avoid making this a political thread, except to say the citizen deserves a medal.

    Yeah, I think we can leave politics aside here. If it weren't for that citizen that trooper would be dead. Fantastic work.

    It was awesome and shows the importance of being prepared and never - ever - knowing when or where you may be called on to save a life - yours or another.

    A similar incident happened in Florida late last year that did not get the coverage that this one did but is no less important and should be viewed as something that is rare but can, and has, happened.....

    http://www.nbc-2.com/story/33702378/witness-armed-person-shoots-kills-suspect-attacking-deputy

    Happy wheeling and I will also refrain from further comment but wanted to drop this other story in this thread....Stay safe!

    Nice! You think there will ever be a concealed license for all 50 states? I assume you are some type of LE
