This Gun Shop Owner Likely Prevented A Mass Shooting At Ohio University

Here’s proof that it’s always best to trust your intuition, even when it means refusing a customer service.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a gun lover as crazy as this pistol-packing mama or believe we need better gun control laws yesterday, the following story should make you feel a little less worried about those who just want to see the world suffer.

Ohio gun store owner John Downs sells pistols and ammunition to dozens of people ever day, but he’s proof that not everyone in his profession is most focused on padding his bank account.

CBS News reports that 25-year-old James Howard withdrew from Ohio University last Monday, assaulted an assistant hockey coach, then drove to Downs’s Bait & Guns store, where the owner felt something wasn’t right.

“Just the look in his eye… there was something about him,” Downs says. “I don’t know. You really can’t explain it. He was going to do something. He was going to do something.”

Downs said the young man made him extremely uncomfortable and although he passed a background check, he refused him the right to buy a gun in his store. “He kind of had his finger on the trigger like he was going to, you know, use it.”

“When we arrived, he had almost 50 rounds of 20-gauge shotgun shell ammunition ready to purchase,” Sheriff Lanny North told CBS.

It is believed Howard was on drugs and lied on his background check form, causing North to believe he was planning a mass shooting at Ohio University.

“We don’t know what he may have prevented,” he told CBS, but that hasn’t stopped countless students, parents and locals from hailing him a hero.
