Everyone's talking about the In-N-Out mass shooter. I think they're talking about the wrong person.
In today's show, I break down why Jordan Salinas deserves the attention. He engaged an active shooter who was firing at innocent people, forced the attack to end, and very likely saved lives—even though it appears none of his shots actually struck the attacker. I'll explain why stopping the killing was the real objective, why accuracy with a handgun under stress is far more difficult than most people realize, and why I still consider Jordan Salinas a hero.
I also discuss his choice of firearm, whether missed rounds could create criminal or civil liability, and explain the legal doctrine of transferred intent that protects someone lawfully acting in self-defense or defense of others when tragedy doesn't unfold exactly as planned.
