New Orleans shootout could have been much worse if it weren’t for this citizen
This is why we need to alwaysdefend and carry, and work hard to protect that right.

The NOPD has arrested a 30-year-old man who allegedly opened fire on a group of individuals at a gas station at the intersection of Claiborne and Esplanade Avenues.
Around 3:24 p.m., NOPD First District Officers responded to a shooting with multiple victims. Upon arrival, officers learned four males had been struck by gunfire after an apparent argument at the location.
Based on the initial investigation, detectives learned that a group of individuals were driving ATVs and had arrived at the location to get gas. At that time, a man driving a white Volvo, later identified as Macklin, pulled up to the gas station where he and the group began to argue.
Macklin then pulled out a weapon and fired several shots at the group, striking three males ages 30, 31 and 32. One of the victims then pulled out a weapon and returned fire, striking Macklin in the head. All four of the individuals who were shot were brought to the hospital where they are recovering from what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.
How unbelievable that a man became so upset he had to wait in line to get gas that he started shooting at random people! And at a gas station too..
Sounds like his elevator didn’t go all the way to the top…
You cannot predict what will happen when you step out of your home every morning. Not only that you can’t predict what could happen at your very own home.
The Second Amendment was created for these very intents and purposes. It’s important that we are always prepared for the unknown, but it’s even more important that we have that right to protect ourselves.
This very well could have turned into a mass shooting if that one ‘victim’ hadn’t been armed and ready. The crazed man could have continued to shoot and potentially kill every last person at the gas station.
Protecting our right to bear arms is also protecting future lives, such as those saved in this instance.
