It’s not exactly a concealed carry success story…

…but it’s not the savagely violent failure we’ve been incessantly warned about, either:

A Madison man stopped an attack on a Madison woman by pulling a gun on the alleged attacker Thursday night, Madison police reported.

The man with the gun held the suspect, Lorenzo Brown, 24, of Madison, at gunpoint until police arrived, according to a police news release.

…”Not knowing the circumstances, both the suspect and man with the gun were ordered to the ground and handcuffed,” DeSpain said.

The gun-holder was very cooperative, but the suspect was not, yelling obscenities at officers and allegedly threatening to harm them.

“Once officers understood the situation, the citizen was released,” DeSpain said.

Good for all of them. Except for Lorenzo, of course.
