Our permit holder was at a birthday celebration for a friend who was killed in 2013.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the DA\u2019s press release, Arian Davis, age 33, was sitting in a car at the cemetery with others when 29-year-old Daniel Hawkins approached and began shooting at them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-concealed-carry-permit-comes-in-handy\">Concealed Carry Permit Comes In Handy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Davis had a valid concealed carry permit and legally owned a firearm.

He also had previous felony convictions that prohibited him from possessing firearms. Furthermore, the vehicle Hawkins had driven to the location had recently been reported stolen by Philadelphia Police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/biden-administration-exploits-uva-slayings-with-dishonest-call-for-assault-weapons-ban\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"concealed-carrier-shoots-attacker-in-cemetery\" title=\"Concealed Carrier Shoots Attacker In Cemetery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Biden Administration Exploits UVA Slayings with Dishonest Call for &#8216;Assault Weapons&#8217; Ban<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Fox News<\/em> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcphiladelphia.com\/news\/local\/deadly-cemetery-shooting-was-self-defense-police-say\/3541759\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"concealed-carrier-shoots-attacker-in-cemetery\" title=\"Concealed Carrier Shoots Attacker In Cemetery\"><em>NBC10 News<\/em><\/a> indicate that Hawkins and Davis, knew each other previous to the attack.\u00a0Reports say that both were from the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"DA: Fatal shooting at cemetery in Montgomery Co. was justified\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l5YP9s9ZMMI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon investigating the scene, police told the press that there had been over 30 shots fired.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Permit Holder Acted In Self-Defense<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After analyzing the evidence, the DA determined that the permit holder had acted in self-defense. He had feared for his life so his actions were justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Davis was under attack and in danger of being killed when he fired his legally owned weapon to end the threat. For these reasons, I conclude that this was a justifiable shooting, and therefore, no criminal charges are warranted,&#8221; Steele said in the press release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, the ruling by the Montgomery County DA brings closure to a tragic incident. The decision sends a message that responsible gun ownership and the right to self-defense are crucial components of a safe and just society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/father-of-12-year-old-boy-shot-after-stealing-car-says-shooter-acted-as-vigilante\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"concealed-carrier-shoots-attacker-in-cemetery\" title=\"Concealed Carrier Shoots Attacker In Cemetery\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Father of 12-Year-Old Boy Shot After Stealing Car Says Shooter Acted as &#8216;Vigilante&#8217;<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This incident reflects how important it is to know when you are legally allowed to shoot in self-defense.
