Best Posts in Thread: One foreigner dead and two critical in shooting

I know this original post is from months ago, but I just read it and I wanted to share my thoughts. I agree we should not expect a security guard to defend us, which is why I advocate our Filipina wives/girlfriends get a License To Own & Possess Firearms (LTOPF) and a Permit To Carry (PTC) the firearm (or firearms).

In China a few months ago some crazy man pulled a knife on a bus and ALL of the passengers on the bus -- including many women -- immediately rushed towards the man and subdued him. I am a strong advocate of people defending other people.

If I am in a restaurant and someone starts shooting I will grab by girlfriend's .45 ACP (which is loaded with hollow point bullets) and neutralize the shooter. If my gf happens to have both of her .45 ACPs with her then we'll both be shooting. She's an excellent shot and one of the 45s is fitted with a laser sight so the odds are definitely in our favor.

My gf's uncle is a PNP Police Superintendent and we discussed this scenario months ago. He said it is lawful for me to employ my gf's weapon/weapons in a restaurant to neutralize an attacker -- even if the attacker, or attackers, are targeting someone else. I believe he is correct, but even if it was illegal I would still neutralize the attacker/attackers.

I understand the thing about the bean & burritos, but I will not sit back and watch someone being attacked. Then again, I am a (retired) military officer so it's my nature to take action. I do not know if any customers were armed in the McDonald's at the time of this shooting, but I can guarantee you the bad guys better not have the bad luck of trying this sh*t in a restaurant I am in!

 

From the article:"Velos, he said, was involved in several robberies in the south and was previously linked to a shootout with Talisay City policemen last Jan. 22, during a follow-up operation." Velos was the accused killer. So if he was linked to shootout and robberies why was out and about, and why was it so easy to capture him? Obvious from the article they knew where he lived." The police went to Velos’s house in Barangay San Isidro and caught him past 5 p.m."

It seems possible that between pressure of McDonalds, and the fact that a foreigner was killed may have been enough for the police to stop using their phones to text their friends and go and get the accuse at his know residence... the robberies and shout out with Talisay City Policemen ... nay...not enough to bother getting up, let the guy kill a couple of more guys first... I am watching a U-tube videos on my phone now... its funny.. I will get him next month... maybe.... Awww sh*t the SOB killed a foreigner and screwed with an international brand name, instead of just killing his own kind.... Now we have to get to work.

 

My old crazy uncle used to say, "I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6". For non americans that is trial by jury of your peers.
