Mass shooter kills 3 at Indy mall stopped by CC

[Brian D.]

As a small, humorous aside: I sometimes tell people asking about purchasing a handgun that "Almost every company makes a Glock pistol now. You just have to figure out which brand you want." Then I give some explanation and context.

I hope he has something like CCW Safe or some kind of legal protection for the inevitable deluge of legal ugly that is headed his way.

Perhaps the media has learned not to jump in on this Rittenhouse style case, but the left will not allow this young man to be held up as a positive example (without a fight).

I was in Indy when it happened and watched all the local stations news coverage. Although some stations covered some of the negative internet comments, I never got the feeling the stations themselves shared this view, in fact exactly the opposite. I never saw any negative coverage of the GG from the stations themselves. Regardless of what some leftist on the internet feels or even some member of the news media, I never saw any reporting that even suggested the local prosecutor was going to do anything to the GG.

I was talking about this issue to someone locally at the time and who happens to be black, and he commented that "of course he's not going to get any flak over it, the active shooter was white."

M- Quigley, I appreciate your comments.

I was thinking that Everytown or Moms or some national anti-group would get the mall ownership to sue him on a civil basis for damages on some amazingly flimsy basis of violating their helpless and hopeless policy.

Official press release from the mall management group was that they thanked the heroic Mr. Dicken for his actions and that came out very early in the aftermath of the event.

I tried the "Greenwood Mall drill" again today, on the indoor range. Even at a mere 25 yards (that's maximum distance there) it was tough.

Did you shoot traditional 2 hand unsupported, or was the firing hand steadied or supported in some way?

Even though I disagree with the few people on the internet or anti gun organizations who implied or flat out said the GG was just as guilty as the murderer I think it's a good thing that they post their opinions publicly. When people who aren't firmly on one side of the fence or the other read the comments, they realize how extreme and agenda driven they really are. In fact I'd like to see them do more of it, at least they're being honest instead of trying to con the public by claiming they are the "reasonable" ones.

I leaned my left side against the side wall of the booth. Fired strong (right) hand with a two handed hold. That gave me a degree of support. I asked the range owner if that was okay before doing it.

In my case I think age has something to do with ability also. When I was younger I could easily hit a quart size container at 25 yards all day long 2 hand unsupported, sometimes something even smaller. Now if I want to hit anything that size at distance I have to have some support of some kind, and shoot slower.
