Exercising the Right
Good Worker With a Gun
The mainstream media allowed one shooting story recently to fly below their radar, perhaps because it supported the contention that a “good guy with a gun” can help prevent gun violence.
Winknews.com reported on June 3 out of Cape Coral, Florida, about how a crime at a roofing business was foiled when an armed worker intervened. Police say the worker was a concealed-carry permit holder, and authorities do not expect any charges for the shooting since his actions appeared to be justified. The suspect, Kevin Bruzos, is a convicted felon who illegally had a gun.
Details are still sketchy about what preceded the shooting, but Bruzos was charged with criminal assault, so it appears that he pulled his gun in an attempt to menace and threaten some of the roofing business employees. A worker who was standing beside the people that Bruzos pointed his gun at witnessed Bruzos pull his gun, so he immediately drew his own firearm and shot Bruzos. Surveillance video of the incident revealed Bruzos being shot almost immediately after pulling out a gun, which shows the speed with which the armed worker acted. The suspect is in stable condition at Lee Memorial Hospital. Bruzos had prior convictions for third-degree battery, drug possession, and criminal mischief.
