Costco. Good outcome thanks to a good-guy with a gun.

One problem is the family knew the "victim" was off his meds and they took him out in public anyway. Having worked with folks like that, the family had to know they were running a risk to the public but did not care. The whole thing could have been avoided by leaving the "victim" at home.

I am not justifying what the officer did rather pointing out something is possible every day when folks go off their meds. I am certain many current and former LEOs can confirm the problem.

With the State of Texas trying to get them out of the State Schools and "integrated" with society I am surprised there are not more problems like that one. I know the problem with the mentally retarded and/or psychologically impaired is so bad in San Angelo that they have a section or squad just to deal with them.

It usually takes 2 to tango. Yes the parents could have left the guy at home. They could have given him his meds…

The cop could have also not shot a couple of people who apparently didn’t need shooting.

I’m thinking the rational, professional, highly trained individual has more of a burden to bear here.

Congrats.

Costco policy prohibits firearms to be brought into the warehouse, except in the case of authorized law-enforcement officers.

Not that I’ve ever followed that rule, but I know how to prevent it from getting triggered.

Concealed do be concealed.

I was at the Frisco Costco last Sunday. A man and his son (about 60yo & 35yo?) began fighting multiple times, screaming, punches, one took off their belt and was hitting the other. Absolutely no security and some poor small female employee asked them to leave which they ignored for awhile. Wife thought one of them might have a mental issue but I couldn't tell which one. Yes, their no firearm policy on their membership should make everyone feel safe.

This is sarcasm, right?
