Walgreens Employee With Concealed Carry License Fatally Shoots Suspected Thief

A man and woman caught shoplifting at a Walgreens barely had a whiff of victory as they exited the store before being approached by employees. Fine, you got pinched, give it back and go home, or make a run for it as I’m almost positive the DA won’t charge you anyway, right? Not a chance. … Read more

Walgreen’s Hero Harry J. McCullough III Homeless, Unarmed

Nebraska Firearms Owners Association (NFOA) President Andreas Allen reckons that ex-security guard and Walgreen’s shootout hero Harry J. McCullough III faces “gang reprisal” because the armed robber man he fatally shot was a documented gang member. Speaking to pr-canada.net, Mr. Allen says Mr. McCullough has “great concern for his personal safety . . .  He is living on the road, sleeping at a different house every night and not working,” Allen said. What’s more, McCullough is still unarmed. “”We arranged for Mr. McCullough to get a new replacement handgun from a federally licensed firearms dealer,” Allen said. “Mr. McCullough completed the paperwork on his new handgun and took a receipt down to OPD [Omaha Police Department] to register the handgun before taking possession of it, to make sure he was in complete compliance with city ordinances. OPD denied his registration because of a past citation for carrying a concealed weapon. After the City Prosecutor publicly stated he did not have grounds to charge Mr. McCullough, he again contacted the police to register his new firearm and was turned away.” Apparently, when it comes to abiding by the law, black is the new white.

Editorial: Gun Violence Reporting and Point of View(s).

So I’m reading this riveting story about a recent self-defense shooting. Now the facts behind the story are these…

A 32-year-old former security guard, Harry McCullough, was in an Omaha, Nebraska Walgreens picking up a prescription and buying ice cream when two masked men entered. He saw a gunman holding a sawed-off shotgun to a woman’s back as she held a phone to her ear. BOth robbers yelled profanities at the customers. McCullough pulled out his .40 caliber S&W pistol from his waistband and shot the armed man, firing four shots. The robber collapsed outside the store. His sawed-off shotgun blocked the front door from closing. McCullough then chased down the second robber, ordering him to get face-down in an aisle until the police arrived.

Score: armed citizen 2, armed bad guys 0. Now, let’s take the story as it was reported, and examine the generous helping of bias the reported added to the story…
