5. He had a Glock.

He was legal under the new constitutional carry provision. He is 22.

This isn’t exactly the same as Rittenhouse, despite the fact that he was carrying in a no-gun zone. He just happened to be there when the shooting started.

Cops at the presser said the guy did everything right in approaching the shooter. But this sticks with me — a long gun and a Glock in a mall food court.

Yes, he’ll be a hero among the gun-humpers here, and proof of “it takes a good guy” BS. I’m anticipating that the general assembly will honor him on the floor with a resolution thanking him for his bravery (and good aim).
