Interesting we've seen nothing from the pro 2nd amendment folks on this. I guess this guy can look on the bright side of the fact that he wasnt shot for being black while bearing arms (other blacks ghost olding toy guns havent been so lucky in the last month or so, like the boy in the park or the guy in the walmart).
A Black Man Was Lawfully Carrying a Gun. Then a White "Vigilante" Stepped In - Mic
A Black Man Was Lawfully Carrying a Gun. Then a White "Vigilante" Stepped In - Mic
Welcome to Florida, where everyone is encouraged to carry a gun (unless they're black).
Clarence Daniels, a 62-year-old black man with a concealed weapons permit, was entering a Tampa-area Wal-Mart to purchase some coffee creamer for his wife on Tuesday. Armed with a label in case he forgot the brand of creamer and his handgun, holstered on his hip Daniels barely made it through the big-box store's automatic doors before being tackled by Michael Foster, a 43-year-old would-be vigilante. And by the way, Foster is white.
"He's got a gun!" Foster shouted to passing shoppers after throwing Daniels to the ground. Despite Daniels screaming "I have a permit!" multiple times, Foster kept Daniels (who's showing a great deal of restraint in not standing his ground right in the Wal-Mart vestibule) in a chokehold until local police arrived and confirmed that Daniels had a permit for the weapon.
