15. Less than 2 months ago a friend of mine

Got into a fight outside a club in Atlanta.

After the fight he went to the car of friend grabbed the friends gun went back to the fight scene. Unknown to him police had arrived and say him with the gun. He was told to drop it and was shot 7 times and his friend near him was shot once in the arm.

About 3 weeks ago he died from the multiple gun shots.

The gun was legally owned by another friend with a ccw that attempted to stop the friend who just got beaten up from going back with it. He literally was grabbing him when the shots from the police rang out.

Don't assume I don't support increased training requirements to get a ccw. The dead friend did not have a ccw and was drunk and honestly was seaking revenge.

I balance this with the fact the owner of the gun got it and the ccw after being robbed and assaulted with his girlfriend.

Complicated and made worse in this case by the presence of the gun. Yes I am pro 2nd amendment but I'm not blind to the fact that often times guns make bad situations fatal.
