Concealed Carry

A St. Paul, Minnesota, man fatally shot an armed teenager who tried to rob him before rushing to his aid in an attempt to then save his life.

A Topeka, Kansas, concealed carrier drew down on a pair of armed robbers, stopping the crime and saving the day. And it’s all thanks to a new gun law that allows citizens to carry a concealed firearm without a permit.

“Myself, as a city councilman, and apparently the rest of the City Council agrees that gun-free zones are targets,” Jett said. “If you look at the shootings that have happened, they are gun-free zones. Schools, malls and recently churches. I want people to know that this is not a gun-free zone, and we are not a target.”

An NRA-backed permitless carry bill is on its way to the desk of Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback after both the state House and Senate approved the legislation on Wednesday.

A Minnesota lawmaker is arguing that preventing law-abiding citizens from carrying concealed firearms in the Mall of America is ludicrous, especially in light of recent threats of terror attacks from Al-Shabaab, an Islamist militant organization with ties to Al-Qaeda.
