TX: Good Guy With Gun Stops Attempted Murder outside of School

(Before It's News)

During the last media push for laws to disarm the population, NRA executive VP Wayne LaPierre said that a good guy with a gun is what is needed to stop a bad guy with a gun.   A recent shooting outside the Harry Stone Montessori school in Dallas is a perfect illustration of his point. 

In this case, an armed citizen was present.   He happened to be an off duty police officer.   The “Gun Free School Zone” law would have worked perfectly to assure the attacker of an unarmed victim if he had not been there.   From wfaa.com:

Dallas Police Deputy Chief Gil Garza said in a news conference the officer was out of uniform and headed to a family function when he saw an altercation. A woman was stopped at an intersection when another car, driven by the suspect, pulled up alongside her. Words were exchanged between the two, then the suspect fired multiple shots into the victim's vehicle.

The officer witnessed the shooting, got out of his vehicle, and intervened before he shot the suspect.

 Gun free school zone laws have been a complete disaster.   Mass shootings inside schools have increased four-fold since the laws were passed.   This shooting may not have any more connection to a school than the location; however, it does illustrate the insanity of “gun free zones”.
