He Was Unarmed During A Mass Shooting Because Of A Gun Free Zone

About this video

Colion interviews Morgan, an Army veteran who witnessed a mass shooting at a Harris Teeter grocery store in Virginia. Morgan describes being unarmed in a gun-free zone medical clinic when the shooter opened fire, killing two people before being stopped by an armed bystander. Colion and Morgan discuss the experience, Morgan’s feeling of helplessness without a firearm, his criticism of gun-free zones, and tactical lessons for concealed carriers who might face similar situations.

Key takeaways

• Morgan argues that gun-free zone signage offers no protection and may actually attract attackers who assume no one inside will be armed to resist
• Morgan emphasizes the importance of immediately seeking cover or concealment rather than freezing to watch or process what’s happening during an active shooter event
• Morgan stresses that armed citizens in chaotic situations must maintain exceptional situational awareness to avoid being mistaken for the threat by other armed responders
