Here is a perfect example of how concealed carry protects yourself as well as others.
Another repeat offender put back on the streets causing more crime.
It's too bad the mainstream media will never report examples like this though. Even in this article, It was buried in the middle and only mentioned in one sentence. It should have been the focus of the article. It would be nice to see examples like this get as much media attention as the Trayvon case.
I thinks it's good for people who carry to look at examples like this and ask yourself how you would have responded, then discuss them with others on what was good, and what could have been done better.

Police Lt. Brian Purvis said that about 5:20 p.m. Thursday, Ly entered Smith's Marketplace at 455 S. 500 East and purchased a kitchen knife. He said Ly exited the store along 600 East.
A police news release said Ly stabbed a 30-year-old man "several times" in the abdomen, then attacked a 45-year-old man who suffered cuts to his arms and head. A probable cause statement added that Ly threatened and chased four other people in the parking lot.
A 47-year-old man with a man with a concealed-carry permit drew his pistol, ordered Ly to stop and held him at gunpoint until officers could arrive.
