Default Mike, you will appreciate this...

some here may not understand that this is an argument for 2nd Amendment rights, but you'll get it, as in the end, the perp got exactly what he deserved:

I was reading about this mass shooting:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacoma_Mall_shooting

Dan McKown, is an honest-to-God hero.
http://www.danmckown.com/

For those of you who argue that a CHL/CCW holder should "talk a perp down", look what happened to Dan. I can't criticize him, because who knows what I would have done. But one thing I take away, is if a guy is trying to kill people, don't hesitate, don't warn, just STOP him.

I agree that McKown is a hero. If there is any criticism of what he did, it would be that he didn't shoot and kill Maldonado. It would have saved the tax payers the cost of trying and housing the POS.

Talking a perp down is a cop's job, an armed citizen should merely say, "drop or I'll shoot," and then shoot.
