Good Guy with a Pistol Shuts Down Attacker, Is Quickly Arrested Under Local Gun Control Law

Lloyd Muldrow, a concealed-carrying Marine Corps veteran, was the right man in the right place at the right time. Unfortunately, he was in the wrong city and the wrong state.

According to The Washington Times, Muldrow, a security specialist from North Carolina, faces up to a year in prison after stopping a man who allegedly pistol-whipped a bar patron.

Muldrow’s crime? He brought a gun within 100 feet of a public building in Baltimore — in Maryland, a state with one of the toughest gun control policies in the nation.

Muldrow served in the Marine Corps Security Force Regiment and told the Times he’d been in the presidential security detail and trained his fellow Marines in hand-to-hand combat.
