Eureka Firefighter in Midst of Gun Brandishing in Fight Near Hwy 141 and Big Bend

St. Louis County police tell Patch they are investigating after a man broke out a gun to apparently break up a fight in the middle of traffic at the intersection of Highway 141 and Big Bend Road Friday afternoon.

Manchester police are still investigating the incident, while St. Louis County police are investigating the flourishing of the weapon.

Vaughn said the man with the gun did have a permit to carry it, but they are looking into the circumstances in which it was used.

"It depends on the circumstances. He has a right to have the weapon, but he doesn't have the right to just get it out and start pointing it at people," Vaughn said.

The logic is we should punish all gun owners in Vermont except those rich enough to afford private protection.
