Apparently a Michigan woman with a conceal-carry permit and a loaded handgun thought it was her duty to step in and help a Home Depot employee stop a suspected shoplifter. Did she follow their car? Nope. She opened fired on the suspected shoplifter's SUV as they drove out of the parking lot:
A 47- year-old Clarkston woman in the parking lot witnessed one of the store’s loss prevention officers trying to stop a shoplifting suspect getting into a dark colored SUV. The customer — identified as a concealed pistol license holder — reportedly fired shots at the dark-colored SUV as it sped out of the lot.
It’s unknown how many rounds were fired from her 9mm handgun, but police believe she hit and flattened one of the vehicle’s rear tires as it sped off in the direction of Brown Road.
It was not known if anyone was injured in the incident. The customer remained on the scene and was cooperating with police. A report is to be turned over to the county prosecutor for review of possible charges, if any, on the woman.
Possible charges? I'd say so. An conceal-carry permit does not make one deputized. Even if she were deputized, shoplifting does not warrant a death penalty. Not to mention the fact that other customers and innocent people merely passing by could've been injured or killed with her reckless behavior.
that's one i hadn't considered in recent post the Deputy Barney Fife's out there waiting for an opportunity to draw and shoot anybody. this should have been a taken into custody and charged with reckless endangerment, assault with intent to kill, firing a firearm in public and all we get is no known if anyone was injured????????????
imagine this unfolding 100's of times daily in big cities or small but let's say big more collateral targets all so NRA can boost it's membership and gain more power over congress, republicans getting their based armed an even more dangerous for whatever plan they have on their way to taking "THEIR" country back, and the gun lobby successfully fills the coffers of gun manufacturers and merchants.
