Another shoot-out in the streets NOT perpetrated by CHL-holders
The WHIOTV.com is reporting that an attempted robbery Saturday night turned into gunfire at a Dayton grocery store.
According to the story, the shooting happened at the Kroger Store on Smithville Road, where bullets shattered windows. Officers told reporters a man and a woman whispered into a cashier's ear, making a security guard suspicious. Authorities the pair then ran outside and began shooting. Witnesses said the guard, an off-duty Montgomery County Sheriff's deputy, fired back. Police said the suspects drove off in a car, but officers caught up with them.
According to the Dayton Daily News, a Chevrolet Blazer parked in the store lot was apparently hit by a bullet fired by the deputy. Bullets, apparently fired by the robbery suspects, hit windows near the supermarket's entrance and exit doors.
The criminals are accused of an attempted robbery at a "no-guns" Aldi store earlier in the evening.
Before passage of legislation allowing law-abiding citizens to carry concealed firearms for self-defense, opponents claimed that the law would lead to shoot-outs in the streets.
Since passage of the law, some media outlets have exploited the Media Access Loophole by listing Concealed Handgun License (CHL)-holders as if they are under suspicion, and in need of being monitored.
So when the shootouts in the streets DO happen, why is there no acknowledgement from the media that they do NOT involve CHL-holders? Wasn't ensuring the CHL process is not arming the wrong individuals what they claimed the information was needed for in the first place?
