RIVERVIEW (FOX 13) –
Hillsborough deputies arrested a man who spotted someone with a gun, followed him into a Walmart, and tackled him. The problem? The man with the gun had a concealed weapons permit, and the man who rushed him didn’t call 911 or alert store security.According to the sheriff’s office, Michael Foster, 43, saw Clarence Daniels, 62, in the Walmart parking lot with a gun holstered under his coat.
Foster followed Daniels into the store, put him in a choke-hold and brought him to the ground, the sheriff’s office said. He then started yelling that Daniels had a gun

And the attacker:
And Mr. Foster is lucky Mr. Daniels is only 62; in Florida you get an automatic charge enhancement for crimes against people 65 years of age and older. In his case, instead of a misdemeanor, he would get a felonious charge, maybe aggravated assault on the elderly.
And of course, our friends at CSGV give us the comic relief:
They are better than SNL when Belushi, Akroyd, Chase and company were the stars.
Yep, race won’t even be considered a factor here because “Progressive”.
Also I wonder if you’ve seen Mr. Foster lurking in the CSGV Facebook page. I mean they call for this behavior CONSTANTLY, it’s only a matter of time before some yahoo does it!
I tried looking for him… but way too many idiots floating around and I only have so many years left to live 🙂
The only way this scenario could have been improved (from an entertainment perspective) would be if the “gunman” this idiot tackled was an off-duty cop.
I see your off duty cop and raise you an undercover DEA agent…
like Lee (I;m the Only One…) Paige?
Fear trumps reason yet again. At least the idiot didn’t get away with assaulting the ccw’er.
I love the “good thing the 62 year old isn’t black” comment…considering he is black.
That is why I keep pestering everybody about checking sources. The internet is forever!
Following someone with a gun into the store and tackling them without bothering to call 911? Sounds more like a petson looking for a way to become a “hero” – especially when there has been so much success in SWATing at WalMart (/sarcasm).
The move was bone-headed to begin with but the motivation behind it really needs to be brought out into the light.
stay safe.
The anti rights cult is constantly claiming we as CWP holders are vigilantes taking the law into our own hands judge jury and executioner. But if your a cult member attacking someone that is just protecting your fellow walmart shoppers. One day a cult idiot will jump a cop and get his @$$ shot off, oh the whining from Watts/bloomburg will be deafening.
I think they’re looking forward to it.
Another martyr!
Exactly! They claim we’re not allowed to defend ourselves with firearms but they can protect all the Walmart shoppers by choking out an older gent with a carry permit #idiotlogicprevails
Did somebody say #idiotprivilege?
[…] are anti-gunners so violent? Mouth foaming CSGV supporters agree! Also, why does Shannon Watts hate […]
It is abundantly clear that the blubbering morons at the CSGV love them selves some violence, just as long as it is not gun violence, except when it is gun violence dished out by people with badges.
So clearly if we found one of these idiots, put them in a choke-hold, and started shouting that they had a gun, they would defend our right to do so?
Attacking someone who has made no aggressive actions is assault no matter how you frame it. Daniels would have been well within his rights to shoot Foster.
According to dozens of comments on that page, yes. The majority of their supporters are stating that the assault was justified and numerous others state that the firearm owner should have been shot as a ‘threat’ under ‘stand your ground’ laws.
Just goes to show another reason to carry.
So basically, they’re saying it should be legal to kill someone because of something they’re wearing.
Not because they DID SOMETHING or even TALKED ABOUT DOING SOMETHING, but because they’re WEARING SOMETHING.
This is so far beyond stupid, I’m getting stupider by the moment just thinking about it.
Lets see what Mike’s Moms have to say about this!!!
[…] Scott Foster, the guy who attacked Clarence Daniels at a Brandon, F. WalMart because he saw his legally carried concealed weapon is still being held at the Hillsborough County […]
