We don't actually know why he had a CCW. We ought not judge him. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #20

Yeah, clearly Mr. Foster is a mis-understood hero. Everyone should assault whomever they Flatulo Jan 2015 #22

The batterer wouldn't call the cops but played the idiot false hero instead. IMO Foster is a racist. L0oniX Jan 2015 #18

Businesses have no power to forbid firearms from their premises in Florida madville Jan 2015 #19

Wait, what? It's Walmart's fault that this idiot attacked a law-abiding citizen? Flatulo Jan 2015 #21

And they say that CCW holders are "nuts", or gun owners are "nuts".... NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #4

A gun is a threat. Bonobo Jan 2015 #8

A gun, by itselt, cannot threaten anyone. A gun, therefore, is not a threat. NYC_SKP Jan 2015 #10

Do you know anything about threat assessment? It is part of self defense. Bonobo Jan 2015 #11

What does threat assessment say about people looking over the produce? Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #28

You are pretty confused. Bonobo Jan 2015 #32

There was no threat. The attacker is a raving idiot who attacked a peaceable, law abiding man. Nuclear Unicorn Jan 2015 #33

Riiigggghhhhttt. Dude attacks someone with a gun. Who's the nut? Who's the racist? L0oniX Jan 2015 #14

Yes, clearly the gun owner was the threat here. Flatulo Jan 2015 #23

Interesting case, what a nut job. Jesus Malverde Jan 2015 #6

concealed or open ? DustyJoe Jan 2015 #9

Florida is not an open carry state ...but IMO this is about the person being black. L0oniX Jan 2015 #12

Mass shooters are almost always white, but race may have been part of it. Flatulo Jan 2015 #25

In case you didn't know this was about a black man with the legal right to carry a concealed gun. L0oniX Jan 2015 #31

Yes, I indeed read the entire article. Flatulo Jan 2015 #34

The gun was concealed in a holster under his coat. Mr. Foster must have caught a glimpse of it. Flatulo Jan 2015 #24

Thank Gawd he didn't call the police...Daniels might well be dead now alcibiades_mystery Jan 2015 #27
