An expanded Crime Prevention Research Center study lists more than 60 cases where an undercover permit holder stopped carrying a mass shooter.
The authors of the study state that more than 60 incidents were incidents where people with concealed carry permits used handguns to stop mass shootings.
Given the limited media coverage of these feats, there is no reason to believe that this list is complete. Also, we are not trying to list here the large number of self-defense gun cases reported daily in the US.
More than 60 events are listed in Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, where covert permit holders have stopped large-scale hunting. , South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wisconsin and others.
Incidents in which covert permit holders stopped large-scale hunting occurred between December 17, 1991 and May 25, 2022.
Some examples from the work:
The fight between the two young people ended with a gunfight. The hunt was opened by a 16-year-old teenager who allegedly carried a firearm illegally. Fights broke out over guns, gunshots were heard.
Lancaster Online reported that an armed bystander intervened, shooting one of the men and ending the threat. Police said an unidentified person in legal possession of a gun heard gunshots in connection with a fight between two men who knew each other. Passers-by remained at the scene until security and police arrived.
A shooting occurred that killed two people in a Walmart parking lot in Duncan, Oklahoma.
America today Aaron Helton, an army veteran, said he was at Walmart around 9:45 a.m. when he heard nine gunshots and saw the shooter holding a gun. According to Helton, another man approached, put the gun to the gunman’s head and told him to stop shooting. Helton said he saw the gun pointed at him and turned around.
An Uber driver with a secret weapon was most likely allowed to stop in a public shooting. The police arrived quickly, but the Uber driver had fixed the situation before they arrived.
Breitbart News also covered the actions of the Uber driver, who said a driver with a concealed carry permit thwarted an attempt to open a mass shooting by pulling his own gun and shooting at a gunman in Chicago’s Logan Square.
