Ram has a gun vault option for the console

My new Suburban had the same option

Good read.

Apparently some nutbar went around Langley BC this morning shooting a number of homeless. No word on how many hurt or weapon used.

From the CBC website:

Man arrested, RCMP say, after emergency alerts sent to public early Monday​

Apparently some nutbar went around Langley BC this morning shooting a number of homeless. No word on how many hurt or weapon used.

All of this from open source: Super messed up situation. There’s a photo of what looks like an RCMP unmarked SUV with eight bullet holes through the windshield on the driver’s side. Can’t tell if outgoing or incoming, but I do have reliable word that all police are OK. Either way it speaks to a desperate takedown.

Everything I’ve heard so far lines up with shooter targeting homeless. I don’t have anything reliable enough regarding number of victims.

Police confronted and stopped the shooter and he’s “in custody”. It’s not clear yet if he’s “in custody” as a prisoner or as an exhibit.

It’s only 10:30 there. Expect more updates later in the day. Very complex, multiple scenes.

Some media outlets are reporting that the suspect was shot and killed by police AND is in custody.

Habemus corpus.

You can have a body in custody...

 

[brihard]

(Checks news to confirm OS) Dude’s super dead and it was a fantastic stop by a guy who was in the right place at the right time. Extremely clear and impressively skilled shoot.

Yeah, I know. But the original article - which has since been updated - made it sound like he was shot and killed (pronounced dead on-scene), then arrested and taken to cells.

That would make a mess...

Paul Newman (Judge Roy Bean) killed a cowboy for cheating at cards then held a trial and fined him eight dollars. I know I know before the earth cooled.

Props to the responding officer.

 

[Humphrey Bogart]

From the article.
The new survey found that more Americans believe that their best protection in a mass shooting situation is a nearby armed civilian, rather than police officers or federal agents. Respondents chose armed citizens as the best protection by 41.8% to 25.1% for local police and 10.3% for federal agents. About a fifth of people chose none of the above — 22.8%.

That followed by this makes it harder to argue. Armed 'hero' stopped mass shooter at Indiana mall

There have been a number of incidents that have eroded the publics faith in LE, Uvalde clown show was just the icing.
Rule #1: ABC (Always be Carrying) for you can only count on yourself.

One tends not to get a lot of press when LE shows up quickly and does the job - like the below

I don't think you're wrong. I think the public, rightly, expects POs to move towards the danger or threat and take personal injury and death as a very real possibility of that employment. And that sacrifice is expected to try and save the victims.

I also think the vast majority of POs are willing to do that.
