on a serious note, this one hits close to home, right here in Washington state. This story tugs at my heartstrings.
A Washington man found out that you don’t bring a baseball bat to a gunfight. A concealed carrier was able to defend himself from a man in a Walmart who grabbed a baseball bat and began to assault him in front of his children.
According to local media reports:
A 32-year-old man who was shopping with at least three children at a Yakima Wal-Mart was the victim of an unprovoked assault when a stranger picked up a metal tee-ball bat and struck him, according to Yakima police.
The victim was not injured, but he did have a concealed weapons permit, which he immediately put to use, police said. A store security officer reported hearing a man in the sporting goods department yelling “Get on the ground!” and found one man pointing a pistol at another, who was lying on the floor.
Police arrived a short time later and arrested the 30-year-old suspect, who remains in Yakima County jail in lieu of $30,000 bail set Monday.
