I would think that a lawsuit is going to happen...Hope he has a big umbrella liabilty policy

Appears that she is just a looter trying to push peoples buttons and getting them to contribute to her "defense of them".

She is a symptom of our descending from reason into irrationality. The arrested (development) guy wanted to be a hero so badly that he was willing to risk his life and that of others, when he could have easily defused the situation with a phone call. To defend such craziness is in itself crazy.

He probably would have learned something from me. At my age and in my condition I would be hurt bad if someone tackled me. I even hurt just getting up in the morning. He probably would have been shot in self defense had he tried that on me.

if he had been shot it would have been his fault, he ATTACKED THE MAN didn't he! as for the store having a sign no guns allowed that would have been illegal. home depot tried to do that where i live and it lasted less than one day. i do not think it is wise to just attack someone with out justification and not suffer the consequences,

You have never in your life initiated violence? Without proper education adults can be like children. Maybe he is beyond saving. I can't tell from one incident that may be misreported by the media. Most people in this Gulch continue to give the con-men in DC chances to reform. Should all those Gulchers be excluded, too, because they are willing to be misled again? I think the con-gress critters are beyond hope, but imo the people must have a chance to hear and acknowledge the truth if they are willing. There is little chance most will get the truth when the propaganda machine is so pervasive. Where else can they learn?

nicely put.

First, legalities: Walmart sells guns; they do not have a No Guns policy. Second, had he attacked an undercover cop, the attacker would have been dead and everyone, courts, administrative aggencies and public opinion, would have been in agreeement that the shooting was justified. Third, shouldn't any citizen be afforded the same rights as a cop? Fouth, the attack was intentional, designed to invoke fear and cause harm - are not those reasons enough to protect oneself with a defensive use of a gun? Wouldn't you agree that the above are noble causes?

How noble of you. What if he had been? The first thing I wondered was if the store had a sign that said no guns allowed.

Hahahahaha.

Moms Demand Action... MDA? Yeah, Watts actions make me think she seems to be on drugs... Bunch of Bloom(berg)an Idiots. Speaking of bunches...

And Foster? Obviously, the guy went Bananas...

He's lucky that Mr. Daniels didn't see the attack as a threat to his life... It's an example of another responsible CCW holder showing proper and necessary restraint in what was obviously a dicey situation.

NIMBY!!! :-)

Even though I support open carry as a freedom to bear arms, I prefer to fully use my concealed carry permit.
I'm no longer the show-off teenager of the 60s. Gone is my ability to rock n' roll with state inmates as a corrections officer back in the 80s.
Now I have arthritis and other getting old issues.
To attract attention to myself is not part of my self-defense strategy when walking about in public.

I am sorry that he wasn't.

No, No! If you open the gates there's going to be such an inflush of trash that we'll have to find a new Gulch! Let them rot in Kalifornia.

the attacker is lucky that he wasn't shot. did he learn something? probably not.

This is what I posted on her Facebook:
Shannon Watts you read all the stuff purposely written to infuriate and shock you, that’s how newsies keep ratings up. There is a big picture in the world, such as more children die in swimming pools than with hand guns. You are acting like a mad dog chasing your own tail

Mr. Foster is quite lucky he isn't shot or dead, in most states, excepting some of the communist ones like CA, NY, and CT. an attack, and the restraint of a choke hold is considered 'deadly force.' Watts is a special consideration of herself, fitting Franklin's epithetic statement about surrendering freedom, and deserving none. She should be locked up as a danger to society.

I would not go to my local Walmart without a gun! As far as Foster is concerned I hope he suffers from his victim hiring a great lawyer and good doctors.

Typical of the blithering morons who are anti-gun.
Having taken numerous self defense, or let me re-phrase, self-offence classes, been a bouncer in my 20's I can do more damage in close quarters to a person using a simple pen, than you can with a gun.

And in close quarters, i.e. within 3 feet of a person, given .5 seconds, I and many people who have taken "offensive" classes, training and been in numerous "scuffles", can crush your windpipe, snap your knees and elbows backwards, pretty much rip your head off, in about the same time it takes to pull out your gun, and fire one shot.

There is a HUGE difference between Self-Offensive" and "Self-Defensive"

I believe in eliminating your attacker not just stopping him/her.

Honorable mention, at least.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out "Michael Foster" is a DNC campaign worker, or some other anti-gun looney.

Had Foster been properly educated, he would have been carrying a gun himself. Then he would have winked at the guy, as if to say, "If you're here to do right, I have your back. But if you're here to do wrong...!"

oh, is he going to be in your class? 'cause I don't take people who initiate violence in my class - they've already demonstrated that he's irremediable.

Foster is a victim of irrational propaganda and unconstitutional gun laws. If not for stupid government laws and idiots like Moms Demand Action leader Shannon Watts, Foster would never have thought someone carrying a gun was a problem. If the world was rational, he wouldn't have had a care in the world because dozens of others would have been carrying guns, too, and anyone using a gun to commit a felony would be committing suicide.

Sentence Foster to re-education in the Gulch.
