Armed Citizen Intervention Not the ‘Myth’ Antis Claim; Cambridge Proves It

Summary

An armed citizen and a Massachusetts state trooper intervened in a May 11 shooting incident in Cambridge, Massachusetts, stopping suspect Tyler Brown, who had a violent criminal past. Gun rights advocates, including Alan Gottlieb of CCRKBA and Jim Wallace of GOAL, used the incident to criticize strict gun laws and highlight the importance of armed citizens. The event precedes a Firearms Advocacy Conference scheduled for May 30 in Chicopee, Massachusetts, featuring New England gun rights organizations.
