Bearing Arms tells us a lot more about the chap who stopped the St. Cloud, MN knife attacks than the MSM has.
Boy, did that Muslim ever pick the wrong guy to try to attack with a knife!
USPSA Shooter, 3-Gunner, and NRA-certified firearms instructor Jason Falconer has been identified as the man who shot and killed a 22-year-old Somali immigrant who went on a stabbing rampage inside a St. Cloud, (MN) Mall on Saturday.
The apparent terrorist—who apparently asked victims if they were Muslims before stabbing them—was engaged by Falconer inside the mall.
Falconer is the president and owner of Tactical Advantage LLC, a shooting range and tactical training facility with a strong focus on arming concealed carriers. He’s also a former chief of the Albany (MN) police department, and he remains a part-time officer.
But Falconer has consistently been identified in the mainstream media only as as a “former police chief†and “off-duty police officer.†…
A knife-wielding suspect who was dressed in a private security uniform and made references to Allah while attacking at least nine people during a mass stabbing incident at the Crossroads Center shopping mall was shot dead by an off-duty police officer from Avon, authorities said.
Jason Falconer, former police chief of Albany, Minn., was shopping when he confronted the suspect.
At a press conference at the police department just after noon on Sunday, St. Cloud Mayor David Kleis said he believes Falconer prevented additional injuries and loss of life.
“Clearly he is a hero. Officer Falconer was there at the right time and the right place.â€
Kleis said the end of the attack and the final confrontation could be seen on video from the Macy’s store. Describing the video, which did not have audio, Kleis said the suspect clearly had a knife in hand, and lunged at Falconer, who fired at him. The suspect fell, then got back up three times before the fatal shot.

That is the thing every criminal has to think about when thhey commit a crime. There are a lot of people with a CC gun and they might look like victims to a perp.

Mr. Falconer is the perfect example of how and why armed citizens are essential to a free society and to public safety. However, this incident demonstrates the importance of proper training and regular practice on the part of those exercising their right to bear arms. An untrained or incompetent CCW holder would not necessarily have gotten the same result in this case.
