On Sunday, The Daily Wire<\/a> reported that an attempted mass shooting at a mall in Greenwood, Indiana, was stopped by a citizen with a concealed carry license.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

A mass shooter<\/a> at a mall in Greenwood, Indiana<\/a> was shot dead on Sunday by an armed civilian<\/a> after firing into a crowded food court, killing three and wounding two.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According<\/a> to Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison, the man entered the mall with a rifle and several magazines and began firing into the crowd at the mall\u2019s food court. Police first responded to shooting at about 6 p.m. The shooter was killed by an as of yet unidentified good guy with a gun.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Had the mall been a gun-free zone or the state not allowed the armed civilian to have a gun, the shooting would have ended very differently. I seriously doubt that the mass shooter believed that there would be someone at the mall to thwart his plans.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Despite the often repeated claim that \u2018the good guy with a gun\u2019 is a myth, studies<\/a> suggest that guns are used defensively in the United States between 500,000- 3 million times per year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am sure that there are a number of people who were at the mall that day who are grateful that the mall is not a gun-free zone.<\/p>\n
