Note that WA does not have the concept of registering firearms.

@Latchkey – The National Dometic Abuse Hotline offers guidance for what witnesses of public DV should do…“Take into account your own safety as well as the survivor’s. There is safety in numbers, so gathering a group of people to stand nearby and either verbally or physically intervene is one option. Contacting the authorities is another option. You might even record the incident with your phone to pass to law enforcement. https://www.thehotline.org/resources/tips-for-intervening-if-you-witness-domestic-violence/Also, per SPD, call 911. DV is a priority 1 incident with a 6 minute response time.

So are you saying that if you happen to get attacked my a strange man and he’s beating the heck out of you that you would want people to just keep walking by and not help you? If this guy would have stood back and took the time to call police, the woman probably would have been dead before police arrived. Let’s hope you never get attacked because there would be no hope for you to survive. That’s just how it is these days. So yes he basically saved the woman’s life so yes he is a hero

They’re not that heavy lol I’ve hauled around heavier camera gear. The police are understaffed and have long response times city councilman Rob Saka said repeatedly “the community needs to step up” seems this guy did just that. Why do YOU have such a problem with people doing something legal?!

I’m not a firearms guy but I’ve read enough to know that cops are taught to aim center mass to lessen the chance of a stray bullet hitting an unintended target (like an innocent bystander). I think the idea is shoot to stop the threat, not shoot to kill. Maybe Pete might know better.

“We carry…?”  Weird attempt to clabber on to a situation you had no role in.

I suppose if there were a cheap Glock clone or some Polymer 80 job involved they may have bought it from you at a gun show though, right?

Comment on WEST SEATTLE CRIME WATCH: Early morning gunfire by Fitz https://westseattleblog.com/2024/07/west-seattle-crime-watch-early-morning-gunfire-4/#comment-2572835 Mon, 22 Jul 2024 03:34:53 +0000 https://westseattleblog.com/?p=1096797#comment-2572835 In reply to 1994.

I love WS and lived there since 1989.  The things I read happening on a weekly basis about violence, crime, and gun activity is not something that happened even remotely to this current frequency.  Most of these stories aren’t just some guy who was having a bad day and ran into someone at the wrong time and place.  Sure…   some, but a shooting at 5 in the morning isn’t about road rage.
