Why the Second Amendment is a good thing

A gun can come in handy many times, as shown in this blurb from the Ocala Star-Banner.

Corrections Officer Fires at Shooter

OCALA - The Ocala Police Department and Florida Department of Law Enforcement were investigating a shooting Thursday afternoon involving an off-duty corrections officer in a parking lot on West Silver Springs Boulevard.

Police officials gave this early account of the shooting:

A car was being detailed at the 1900 block of the boulevard at about 2:20 p.m. when another car pulled up and blocked it. The driver of the second vehicle got out and reportedly fired several shots at the man in the other car.

At that time, David Anderson, an off-duty Marion County corrections officer, saw what was taking place, drew a handgun and fired shots at the shooter.

The shooter's intended target rammed the second vehicle with first car and managed to escape. He, along with witnesses, called police. The shooter fled.

The off-duty officer and the man in the first car were not injured.

Yep, I think people just might behave better if they knew other people were packing.
