Bower of the Phoenix Police told the publication that a man was inside the restaurant and shot Luna, ending the confrontation. Luna was taken to a local hospital before succumbing to his injuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The good samaritan who ended the conflict was detained and questioned by the police. He claimed self-defense with many witnesses corroborating his statement.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This restaurant is lucky to have had a firearm-carrying customer that could defend himself and the other customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, with Arizona&#8217;s 2A-friendly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phoenix.gov\/policesite\/Documents\/088411.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"armed-phoenix-man-thwarts-public-shooting\" title=\"Armed Phoenix Man Thwarts Public Shooting\">&#8220;Constitutional Carry&#8221;<\/a> laws, the man was able to exercise his 2A rights which enabled him to take decisive action.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Open 2A Laws<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the grand scheme of things, this is a prime example of why pro-2A laws are a necessity in our country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a number of tragic shootings last month, we can only sit back and wonder how the outcomes may have changed if state carry laws were more permissive.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/ccrkba-leniency-for-michigan-gunman-enabled-his-crime\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"armed-phoenix-man-thwarts-public-shooting\" title=\"Armed Phoenix Man Thwarts Public Shooting\">CCRKBA &#8212; Leniency for Michigan Gunman Enabled His Crime<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, gun-control advocates continually seek to tighten <a href=\"https:\/\/www.latimes.com\/california\/story\/2023-02-01\/california-concealed-carry-gun-law-supreme-court-ruling\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"armed-phoenix-man-thwarts-public-shooting\" title=\"Armed Phoenix Man Thwarts Public Shooting\">their grasp on law-abiding citizens<\/a>, calling for expanded &#8220;safe spaces&#8221; and &#8220;gun-free&#8221; zones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This includes restaurants and other public locations. A certain Phoenix restaurant was safer Saturday night because gun grabbers haven&#8217;t been able to defile Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">News Coverage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the news, it&#8217;s not surprising that this story hasn&#8217;t seen much <a href=\"https:\/\/bearingarms.com\/camedwards\/2023\/02\/13\/armed-citizen-stops-shooting-in-phoenix-restaurant-n67267\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"armed-phoenix-man-thwarts-public-shooting\" title=\"Armed Phoenix Man Thwarts Public Shooting\">attention<\/a>. Had Luna been successful there is no doubt that this event would have made national headlines. Since it was stopped almost immediately, it has received very little screen time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the headlines reporting on the incident fail to report it as a defensive gun use.
