I dont think it should matter if the civilian had a permit or not.

[sbdreamin]

The 2nd doesn’t say anything about a “Permit”

[MrBurns-tfif]

His permit to carry a firearm is covered by the 2nd Amendment in the US Constitution.

[Relaxokay]

And if he didn't have a firearm then it would had been a slaughterhouse

[GrantFoxOfficial]

"THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR OBEYING THE 2Nd AMENDMENT AND SAVING US ALL!!!" ...

"Say, do you have a permit for that gun?"

[Americalandofthefree]

And it's the Second Amendment for the WIN!

[GOD]

Moral of the story.

Good guy with gun = Significantly less or no deaths.

No good guy with gun. Shooter is free to mow down whoever he wants until stopped or gives up.

[Thomas-lkcu]

"Thank you sir, for potentially saving a ton of lives!"
"By the way, do you have a pErMiT?"

[Nakamichi_Jun]

"He's got a permit, it might have been issued today, but the point is, ...he's has one now."

[willdaisy]

Who cares if he had a permit or license long as he had a weapon to stop the shooter

[RC-temt]

When seconds count the police are minutes away, we must protect ourselves from evil!

[montgomery]

A civilian with the a gun taking care of a bad guy with a gun, now we don't have to burden the court system or the jail system with another person saving us money

[smokeymoss]

Yes, he had a permit. It's called the second amendment to the constitution of the United States of America.

[Texas_TactiCoat]

All imma say is that little clip of the police phone call saying "theres someone with a gun, two people were shot. " Was the calmest 911 call i ever heard

[goodolboy]

Who cares if he had a permit! He did what had to be done!

[eds_perspective]

I must be dreaming. MSM acknowledging that an armed civilian can actually be a good thing?!? Somebody pinch me...

[smmk]

The 2A does work. Guns are a tool, not evil. Alot of law abiding citizens own and carry guns!

[LaPage]

"We asked if he had a permit..." He does... The Second Amendment.

[skylersmith]

The news asked if he had a permit? There was no need for them to ask when it doesn't matter.

[borood]

A perfect example of why people need to be armed. People with common sense outnumber wack jobs.
