In Arizona? The dude might be the next Sheriff somewhere down there.

Wow, that's an amazing story. Thankfully the samaritan came along and had the composure to get on the radio and call it in. Hope the trooper recovers quickly. As a former Arizonan I dealt with the DPS on multiple occasions, real good guys back then and hope that's continued.
Now that we are out of Colorado and in Arizona I am so appreciative of the gun laws they have here. Every state in the union should have constitutional carry rights. All the other silly laws such as mag limits and restrictions on private party transactions don't exist here. There are a few things that you have to be aware of in regards to where you carry down here but in general it is fair game. I hope that the laws of CA and CO never creep in.
Here's the guy that helped the Trooper in Arizona by shooting the badguy.

Aside from his more "alternative" appearance he's also a former felon that got his life straightened out and his rights restored.
Definitely busting some stereotypes here.

A lift of the glass for Mr Yoxall here. [Beer]
I watched the video of his press conference and it is obvious that the shooting has affected him a lot. I hope he gets help if needed and it doesn't cause a negative impact on is life.
Yeah. Just found the press conference on YouTube. Tough stuff.

"I never felt being a gun owner should be stigmatized."
Bravo Thomas Yoxall ! [Awesom]
That is more than I had seen before. His answer that he doesn't consider himself a hero is exactly why he is a hero.
This clip has even more and you can hear the questions asked.
