Do you want to die in Texas? Walk into a bank with a knife and threaten the nice woman behind the counter.
This isn’t Chicago. Or New York City. A whole lot of Texans carry guns and people are generally kind, even before you consider that many of them are strapped. So when a knife-wielding thug tried to rob the Chase Bank in Cedar Hill Monday morning, he was already making a series of very poor life choices.
A customer saw the blade, heard the threat and decided he wasn’t going to see a teller hurt or killed over some cash. Not on his watch. He drew and shot the robber.
The would-be holdup man stumbled out of the bank, leaking profusely. Police found him in the parking lot clinging to whatever was left of his plan. He died shortly after, along with his dreams of spending other people’s money.
Knife-Wielding, Would-Be Bank Robber Shot Dead by Armed Customer in Texas https://t.co/hY9vZMbHLX

Nobody else was hurt. Not the tellers. Not the customers. Not even a houseplant. The good Samaritan stayed, talked to police, and was released.
Bringing a knife into a Texas bank and expecting compliance isn’t a strategy. It’s a suicide note with a extra stupid attached. Lawful adults can and do carry here. Bystanders aren’t required to stay still while someone threatens great bodily harm over a cash drawer.
This little drama ended the only way it was likely to end in the Lone Star State. The customer did what the law allows when death or serious injury is on the table. The robber chose the occupation, the tool and the target and the customer chose to end the threat. For good.
Goodbye, a-hole.
In the supposedly ‘Gun Shine’ state of Florida, bank carry is officially verboten.
And flat-out ignored by many concealed carriers…
Criminals loosing either at ’emergency room bingo’ or the ‘room temperature challenge’ is a good thing for society overall.

Left-Wing Violence Is Still An Existential Threat To The Republic

VP JD Vance, RNC Midterm Convention, on the Democratic field this November:
“What’s new about them… is a new type of hardcore hatred. Don’t take my word for it — listen to what these people have actually said in their own words.”
“In Manhattan this November, you have Democrat candidates who declare their life goal is, and I quote, ‘the total eradication of western civilization.'”
“In Lansing, you have Democrats who call for, quote, ‘destroying the American way of life.'”
“In Denver, Colorado, you have Democrats who say 9/11 was inevitable… And in Michigan, it’s even worse — they’re campaigning with radicals who explicitly say that America deserved the 9/11 attacks.”
“These are candidates who, when they’re not calling to repeal the Second Amendment, will attack you as a literal white supremacist if you dare to criticize sharia law.”
“In the great state of New York, congressional Democrats tell us that the July 4 celebration is really about the liberation of Palestine and Puerto Rico.”
“These aren’t media personalities. These aren’t weirdoes on social media. These are candidates that congressional Democrats have put forth for you to vote for in November.”

Good Guy With A Gun Stops Mall Shooter — Now A Judge Is Punishing Him
“A 19-year-old Michigan man was sentenced to two years of probation for carrying a concealed weapon after fatally shooting a gunman in self-defense.
The incident occurred in July when Martinez Long shot an individual who had already killed someone else during an altercation in a mall. However, the authorities arrested and prosecuted him for carrying a concealed firearm without a permit.
…
The incident occurred when a fight between two groups started on July 3 at Fairlane Town Center in Dearborn, Michigan. Cameron Watkins, 19, shot and killed Keonte Seaborn, also 19. He used a firearm he took from a woman’s purse and continued firing after hitting Seaborn. He also shot another person during a struggle, wounding him.
Long shot and killed Watkins, ending the threat, as shoppers fled for the exits. Prosecutors later determined that Long acted in self-defense and to defend others.
He was arraigned on July 7 and pleaded not guilty to one count of carrying a concealed weapon, which is a felony that carries a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison.
Long, who had no prior criminal record, can have his conviction cleared from his record if he abides by the conditions of his probation.
Michigan’s gun laws are nonsensical — especially when it comes to whether a 19-year-old can carry concealed. If Long had been open carrying his pistol, he would not have violated the state’s laws. However, the law does not allow one to carry a pistol in a vehicle without a permit, which one can’t get until they turn 21. So, in essence, for Long to have legally carried his gun, he would have had to walk to the mall.

.40 cal Booger,
Most states with open carry laws allow you to transport your unloaded handgun in a locked case and/or the trunk of your vehicle. Thus, this young gentlemen probably could have driven to the mall if he unloaded his handgun, put it in a case or trunk of his vehicle, drove to the mall, removed it from the case/trunk, loaded it, and then strapped it on his hip.
While the above all sounds well and good, I can guarantee you that the shopping mall would have ejected him if was carrying an openly visible handgun in a holster on his hip. Add the significant hassle of having to unholster, unload, enclose (in case or trunk), drive, recover (from case or trunk), reload, re-holster–and it just doesn’t work.
