Good Guy With A Gun In Oklahoma: “I’m Here To Help”

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It’s actually rather shocking that a national news outlet would publish a piece showing good guys with guns in a positive manner. Give it up for Christal Hayes at the USA Today, who might have slipped this through at 5:18pm Friday once all the big wigs went off to their Leftist cocktail parties

Armed citizen who shot Oklahoma gunman told worried crowd, ‘I’m here to help’

Before bullets started flying at an Oklahoma City bar and grill, Bryan Whittle and Juan Carlos Nazario didn’t know each other. But they knew what to do: Stop a gunman before someone dies.

The two, police say, prevented what could have been a deadly attack Thursday night after they armed themselves and took down the shooter, Alexander Tilghman. Both say they don’t feel like heroes.

Nazario, a security guard and former small-town cop, stopped by the pier at Louie’s Grill & Bar Thursday after work when he heard five or six gunshots.

“I looked over and everyone was running from the back restaurant,” he told USA TODAY. That’s when he grabbed his gun and holster from his vehicle and ran toward the sounds.

Inside the busy lakeside restaurant, tables were knocked over, a glass door was shot out and people were hiding in fear. Nazario, a 35-year-old father of two, scanned for the gunman.

“I saw people who were wounded and could just see the worry in their eyes,” he said. “I told them I was looking for the gunman and I’m here to help.”

Certified Awesome. Great. Spectacular.

Despite a restaurant full of innocent lives potentially saved, Nazario said he doesn’t feel like a hero.

“I just can’t understand being called a hero when someone’s life was taken,” he said. “I just did what I had to do. I’m very glad no innocent lives were taken but ultimately, there was a life taken.”

Real heroes don’t have to chest thump. They just are.

Whittle, 39, also felt his bravery wasn’t anything “special.”

“I just did what needed to be done to stop the threat. Nothing special,” he told USA TODAY. “A lot of people would have done the same given the situation.”

Yes, we would have. Of course, if the gun grabbers have their way, it’ll just be bad guys with firearms, and we’ll all have to sit around and wait for law enforcement. That’s not a knock on the folks in blue, it’s just the base average is 3.4 full time law enforcement officers per 1,000 people. And in smaller, safer (meaning non-Dem areas), that number can be lower.

Even ABC’s Good Morning America had good words for these two good Samaritans, and also notes

Police Captain Bo Matthews said the police “have no records of anybody making any other reports” on Tilghman in their system, though he did have a record of a 2003 arrest for domestic assault and battery from when he was 13 years old.

Matthews said that police have not found any record of Tilghman having mental health issues, though said that if someone is to commit “an act like this, you’d have to assume that he probably had a little bit of mental illness.”

So, none of the things the gun grabbers are pushing would have stopped this guy beforehand. Not red flag laws, not universal background checks. Sometimes, there are just bad people out there hell bent on doing bad things, and good guys can solve the problem.
