12 Times Mass Shootings Were Stopped by Good Guys With Guns (9)

Part 9 of 12

As Oma is a Southern Californian, the massacre in San Bernardino last week hit close to home. It is so sad but a reality of everyday life in America. However, Oma maintains the philosophy that guns do not kill people . . . . . . . people kill people. Put a gun in the middle of the room and if no one touches it, no want gets hurt.

Oma will not shy away from teaching her grandchildren about weapons. Emphasis must be place on helping our younger generation learn how to deal with others and to remain aware of their surroundings. They are the only one who can keep themselves safe.

Rather than write about the two shooters who I have chosen to leave nameless; Oma wishes to honor the fourteen who died and twenty-one injured by re-posting a Controversial Times article written by Hunter Roosevelt on June 23, 2015 about the heros were seldom hear about; people who use their guns to stop violence.

Mystic Strip Club
January 11, 2014

 

After being refused entry to the strip club for belligerent behavior and racist comments earlier in the night, the shooter returned carrying a handgun and wearing a Halloween mask. As soon as he entered the club, he opened fire, striking bouncer Brian Rizzo, a patron, and a waitress. Another bouncer, Jonathan Baer drew his concealed handgun and shot the shooter, killing him.

Following the attack Baer posted to Facebook: “I did what I felt was right to stop the shooter…I carry every day, and will continue to, and will so with the hope that I will NEVER have to pull it out again.”

Clackamas Town Center Mall
Dec. 11, 2012

 

Two people were killed and a third was seriously wounded at Clackamas Town Center near Portland, Oregon when a rifle-toting gunman opened fire in in the busy food court. 

Nick Meli, a shopper in the mall, drew a personally owned firearm on the gunman, who immediately retreated to a service corridor and killed himself. Meli did not fire his weapon for fear of striking bystanders yet authorities say his actions caused the gunman to cease his attack and end his own life.

Freewill Baptist Church
March 25, 2012

Aaron Guyton was inside the recreation building of his grandfather’s church when he saw the shooter, a member of the congregation, pulling a shotgun from his vehicle. 

Guyton leapt into action, locking the doors to the church where services were going on. The shooter kicked in the door and pointed the shotgun at Rev. Henry Guyton and several parishioners. Drawing his concealed handgun, the younger Guyton held the shooter at gunpoint while two members of the church took him to the ground. Rev. Guyton then took the shotgun from his hand.

Sullivan Central High School
August 30, 2010

 

When a 62-year-old man armed with two handguns forced his way into Sullivan Central High School in Tennessee, he was immediately engaged by School Resource Officer Carolyn Gudger. Gudger put her body between the gunman and a student and started what would turn out to be a more than 10 minute gun-to-gun encounter. 

Gudger used the time to slowly move the man to a less crowded part of the school. When other officers arrived on the scene, a brief gun battle erupted ending with the gunman mortally wounded.

Roma Market, A Small Treasure

by Stacey Kuhns

I had heard good things about Roma Market in Escondido, so a friend and I went and checked it out. Roma Market is located at 1054 W. Valley Parkway, in Escondido and they are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week.

I was surprised at how small the market is, but it is definitely packed with Italian treasures. The layout is great and the store is extremely clean. They have a small produce section and the produce looked wonderful. They also have a selection of wines and beers. Their displays are beautiful.

They also offer a variety of funny T-shirts.

Their pasta selections are amazing. There is freshly made pasta in their refrigerator/freezer sections along with packaged pastas on the shelves. The items are definitely a bit pricey, but they have many unusual items not found in regular markets.

And of course they have many bottled as well as fresh pasta sauces to choose from. They have a deli counter where you can order a variety of items including coffees, gelato, sandwiches, salads, meats, breads, Italian dishes, and desserts. Everything looks delicious.

We ordered the meatball sub and the hoagie. Both were so good. The counter staff were very friendly and the service was excellent.

Roma Market also has a wide variety of cheeses and salads to choose from.

The deli counter had samples of Parmaggiano Reggiano which was so yummy, we had to purchase some.

My friend tried the marinated mushrooms and I tried the Sicilian salad. Both were lovely.

They have a nice assortment of prepared foods to pick up for a meal, picnic, or anything else. And the foods are quality foods, not just your everyday run of the mill prepared items found at your local grocery store. 

There are plenty of items that would also make great holiday gifts. 

My friend and I decided we will both return here many times. It was fun just to walk the aisles and look at all the different products.
