While Fraley and Giamanco Stopped Shooters, Portland Bans the Next Good Guy with a Gun

In Florida, Marine veteran security officer John Fraley ran toward gunfire at a Citibank campus, engaged the shooter in a gunfight, and stopped him—limiting the attack after one death and protecting roughly 3,200 employees. In Oregon, an armed father stopped a Bend school shooter who had already killed multiple people. Shortly afterward, Portland City Council voted 12–0 to ban concealed handguns (even for licensed carriers) in city-owned buildings used for official public meetings. The common thread: armed good guys ended threats in real time, while a progressive city responded by further restricting the right that enabled those interventions.
