“Freeze!” yelled Marine veteran Scott Perkins, as he pulled his legally-carried concealed handgun and made a bead on perp, Kenton DeSean Fryer, who was attacking Deputy Dylan Dorris. Perkins, according to Dorris, saved his life.
Speaking of the man that saved his life, Dorris says, “I’m alive today because of him. There are no words to explain it. He’s such an outstanding citizen. He’s here for our country, our community, and you really feel the love.”
Instead of having the sense to just stop, Fryer ran off but was eventually detained and taken into custody. He was arrested on charges of aggravated assault of a public servant, taking an officer’s weapon, evading arrest or detention with a vehicle and driving while under the influence with a child under 15 and is now cooling his heels in the Bastrop County Jail on $50,000 bail.
Fryer demonstrates through his courageous behavior exactly why the left has it wrong about gun control. Instead of the reading a story of heroism, Deputy Dorris very well could have been killed. Fryer’s actions, putting his life at risk to save Dorris, is indeed newsworthy and an affirmation for pro-gun laws.
Bastrop County sheriff spokeswoman Sissy Jones has this to say about the incident, “I think it’s important to note, with the uproar that we have on gun laws, that had Mr. Perkins not had his concealed gun on him, that suspect would have likely not paid attention to him. This is a situation where being a license to carry holder truly did save a life.”
As for Perkins, like all true heroes, he won’t accept the label. “Anytime somebody is in need of help you should assist them. It doesn’t matter whether your life is in danger or not, you should always assist anybody who is in need.”
Thank you All!!
