Good Guy With A Gun Ends Active Shooter Rampage, Saves Countless Lives

Despite what anti-gun activists would have us think, armed citizens trained in the use of firearms are the best defense against mass shootings.

This was proven yet again over the weekend when another Good Samaritan put an end to an active shooter's rampage. Of course, the mainstream media seems to be ignoring this story as much as it can because it goes against the narrative that armed citizens are somehow a bad thing.

The reality is that many people would be dead if it wasn't for 22-year-old Elisjsha “Eli” Dicken.

Though he had no intention of shooting anyone when he visited the mall with his girlfriend that day, he was prepared to do just that. Eli learned to shoot from his grandfather and has had no military or police training. However, he showed incredible skill by striking the shooter with 8 of the 10 shots he fired from 40 yards away.

Ironically, the mall was one of the infamous "gun free zones". Obviously, this fact was ignored by the active shooter. Fortunately for many, Eli also ignored the "gun free zone" signs. Thankfully, police are hailing Eli as a hero and it does not seem that he will face any charges for his actions.

Eli's girlfriend, currently in nursing school, is also being hailed as a hero. Immediately after the shooter was neutralized she leapt in and began rendering aid to the victims. Sadly, despite her efforts, three people died. Two others were seriously wounded by the shooter but are expected to recover.

This story is just another example of how good guys with guns can stop bad guys with guns much faster than waiting for the police. Mass shootings are becoming all too common in America, but thankfully there are more and more people are exercising their Second Amendment rights to protect themselves and others.

    1. I’m making over $7k a month working part time. I kept hearing other people tell me how much money they can make online so I decided to look into it. Well, it was all true and has totally changed my life.
      This is where i started... shorturl.at/kxOR2

  1. This guy is a hero in every sense of the work. He took out a serious threat to everybody in that mall that had the foresight to ban guns but not enough to hire additional guards...
    The county should be buying this guy a case of ammo and encourage him to keep practicing...
    The national MSM refuses to publish this article because those commie bastards are afraid of publishing that the NRA was correct when they stated; "The best way to stop a bad guy with a gun is with a good guy with a gun..."
    There should be penalities for MSM that have an agenda and refuse to report on all the news. Even if goes against their commie dumb butt ideas...

    1. I like that idea of penalties for the MSM when they fail to inform the public of news that supports ideas that they consider against their political bias. BTW: When did the MSM develop this bias? I thought journalists were supposed to be objective.

      1. "Journalists" have been going bad for decades as "Hit Pieces & violence" sell Papers/Airtime.
        They fell off the Deep End the day PRESIDENT Trump came down the escalator and announced he was running for President. Since then, they've lost all objectivity. They report breathlessly on ANY rumor as if fact, by whispering "If this is True" (meaning they haven't verified it), then launch into an impassioned diatribe about it, till it's proven false, then drop it and leap to the next narrative.
        Remember when PRESIDENT Trump won the Election in '16? Chris Cuomo, on LIVE TV said "It looks like we're now the opposition"! Objective Journalist? Hardly.
        But they expect us to believe everything they rant about is 100% Fact. At least till proven wrong, then without admitting they pushed a false narrative, they just ignore it and move on to the next "Juicy Tidbit"!

        Poll done worldwide a few months ago rated the "Faith & Belief" that the Nations News agencies were trustworthy. Out of 46 Nations, USA ranked 46. When PRESIDENT Trump called them Fake News, he wasn't being Insulting. When he said the MSM was the Enemy of the People, he was being 100% Accurate and Truthful.

  2. Hopefully with the power of the SCOTUS ruling, guys like this couracious man will become more common than those hidious creatures that prey on innocent unarmed people! Also, we should remoive those signs declaring that areas of "gun free zones" exist. These zones are like honey to a bear for shooters.

  3. Very good article plus you won't see much of it any place other than this! TO MANY GUN HATERS AND DON'T KNOW CRAP ABOUT THE WHOLE THING! Thanks~~~

  4. the hell with these mental problem shootings ,1it good to see someone take one of these bastards down!! by the time the police would have done anything more people would be shot or dead !these clowns lawers get these bastards out of prison mental defects, so they get put in a instatution for a few years , then get out ! while the familys and relatives have to the loss of a loved one! while these bastards get to live free again !the only thing you have to worrie about is the the relatives sueing the person saving live !

  5. We need more good people to carry, that way the bad people will be Leary of what is the Malls, schools, and homes it may help deter them from attempting to do it.
    if every one has a gun, there would be less violence, less robberies, less lives lost, because they had no way of defending themselves.
    think about it if the bad guy knew everyone had a fire arm (pistol, shotgun etc.) wouldn't he be less likely to come into an occupied building, or your home, or God forbid a school? get with the program if you don't want the good guys to have a weapon than please put a sign in your yard that says I AM AGAINST GUNS. and I will post a sign in my that says go to my neighbors house they don't believe anyone should have a gun. Let them come to your house and stay away from mine. I will not come to help you when I have to carry my gun.

    1. Well put. We have a sign (not right out front) Along driveway where they have to enter property to get to your car to steal your converter or backyard. Sign reads “Property guarded by dog; dog protected by gun” Plus flood lights that come on with motion mounted on garage that lights up whole driveway all way down to the street. And another lights up our whole back yard by motion. Plus inside there is a 32 revolver of mine and a 38 belongs to my husband awaiting anyone that should ever get inside. And no warning shots either. Ammo is too expensive to waist one. LOL You enter our home, your a goner.

  6. A good example of citizens that open carry is in Switzerland where all citizens are required to have firearm training. Switzerland has zero gun issues. Think about it.

  7. I commend this young man for the action that he took and thinking quickly about the action he had to take to stop this massive shooting . He should be given a Medal of Honor for his his endeavor to save more lives of protecting the people in the store.

  8. i agree with all comments below,forget gun free zones, rights cannot be changed buy laws, constitutianal laws superseed all laws.

  9. Our US Constitution 2A gives us the Rights to protect us through deadly surroundings.

    Anyone trying to disarm us is making us less safe and interfering with our freedoms.

  10. The LIBERAL ASSWIPES CAN KISS MY ASS .Wait until there is a shooting of a POLITICIAN KIDS,then they'll turn that around real expeditiously.

  11. Mass shooters don't stop till the 2nd Gun arrives. It's been proven time & again.
    The sad part is when you get "People" (using the term lightly) like "The View" totally went off on this guy because he violated the Malls 'Gun-Free Zone" and NEVER mentioned the guy who he stopped from killing who knows how many.
    This is the mentality we're up against. To me it seemed they were offended that Eli Stopped the shooter, instead of praising him for saving an untold number of lives.
    But then, by their "View" the only people who should carry guns on the street are Cops & Bad Guys.
    All law abiding citizens are for is to be targets so people like The View can complain about all the blood those people shot were leaving behind. Never know what's in that blood.

    One thing we can all be sure of. The Shooter's 'Political leanings" were most likely Liberal or Democrat, as that would fit the norm.
