A few things I REALLY like about this story...

A) It was reported by CNN and seemed to be fairly pro CCW (or at least not overtly anti)

B) It was an African American man.  We NEED everyone (all genders, races, cultures, etc.) in this country to recognize the importance and to embrace our rights...ALL of our rights.

C) The man's name indicates he might be Islamic.  Our war is not against the Islamic state, just the extremists.

"You thought I was your friend? You thought I was your friend... So, you woke up stupid this morning."

That's serious the best holding-baddie-at-gunpoint line in the history of mankind.  Even better than "Do you feel lucky, punk?" or anything else Hollywood has ever come up with.

It goes to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that an armed society is a polite society.  See how polite the baddie became?  He wanted to be his friend now.

What impressed me most was the behavior of the two police officers. They congratulated him instead of having hysterics because he was armed.
