When a Gun IS the Answer, It’s the ONLY Answer!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This past Saturday we had proof once again of the adage that a gun is rarely the answer to whatever problem you are facing—but when a gun IS the answer, it is generally the ONLY answer.
On August 1, Chad Williams decided to commit an active shooting at a just-opened In-n-Out burger joint in Twin Falls ID. Using an AR-style rifle, Williams opened fire on occupied vehicles and nearby people, killing three and severely wounding others.
The tragedy would have been far worse had we not been blessed with the intervention of two heroes. One of these was off-duty Idaho state trooper Austin “AJ” Scott, present in the drive-through with his family, and whose heroism is in no way diminished by his choice of profession. Scott charged Williams, received a bullet that shattered his arm and severed his brachial artery, and had his life saved only by the swift intervention of his wife, a nurse.
A second hero, Jordan Salinas, was not a sworn law enforcement officer, and had no professional duty to intervene in an active shooting to save others—but Salinas had long prepared for exactly such an event, was equipped with the only effective means of doing so—a gun on his person—and brought fire onto the murderous Williams, inducing him to cease his killing of innocents and turn his gun onto himself, with fatal results.
What lessons, legal and tactical, can we draw from Saturday’s shooting?
