Another breakdown of the victim-selection process. Victim uses firearm to stop knife attack in North Haven
Police said at around 11:35 a.m., Obadiah Claud, 45, charged the victim with a knife and the victim took out his legally possessed gun to try to stop the attack.
When confronted with resistance, he jumped in his car, and fled.
North Haven, Connecticut is a few miles north of New Haven.
Cops arrested Claud a short time later.
Claud was charged with threatening in the second degree, illegal possession of a deadly weapon, and breach of peace in the second degree.
I will give this journalist credit for one thing. They were able to correctly identify who is the victim. I wonder if they would have gotten it right if the bad guy had been shot. (That usually confuses journalists.) I'm also a bit shocked that they covered this story at all, since no one was shot. I don't believe anyone was stabbed. The gun-hating part of the Left usually ignores stories like this.
Self-defense is a human right, and it might be your legal right in Connecticut. (Hat tip to Concealed Nation)
I hadn't realized that I had 2 posts in 2 days about a "knife to a gunfight."
