- by Dennis Murphy
Chief of Police
City of Gahanna, Ohio
Contrary to what the nay sayers predicted, our streets have not run red with blood shed by those who have chosen to legally carry concealed weapons. In fact there was at least one situation where an armed citizen was needed but not available. It was Thursday, January 6, 2005 when Daryl M. Lawrence entered the 5/3 Bank located on McNaughten and Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio. Lawrence, already an accomplished bank robber and soon to be cop killer engaged Officer Bryan Hurst, but not before sustaining wounds from the officer who died at the scene. Lawrence was arrested by Columbus officers three days after the shooting.
Training is near and dear to my heart. As an Army Special Forces Weapons Leader, Infantry Officer and now as the Chief of Police for the City of Gahanna, I know from experience that how you train is how you will fight.
