Open-Carrying Firearms Instructor Attacked; Kills Assailant

A concealed carry and self-defense instructor came to the aid of a convenience store clerk in Mandeville, Louisiana, as the clerk was being assaulted by an irate customer. The instructor then (unwisely) followed the irate customer outside to get this license plate number of the customer’s truck for authorities. When the customer followed the instructor back inside the store and went for the instructor’s gun, which was being open-carried, things went real bad, real fast.

According to Mandeville Police, the victim, later identified as Shawn Breland, 42, of Folsom, was inside the store and after buying something he began berating the clerk. The clerk ordered Breland to leave the store, and Breland came back inside several times.

Another man who was inside the store and carried a visible firearm in a holster also tried to de-escalate the situation and warned Breland to leave.

“The deceased left but returned throwing what appears to be potatoes chips at the clerk. The shooter then follows the deceased outside to get his vehicle license plate number for the police. When the deceased saw the shooter getting his plate info, he exited his vehicle and physically attacked the shooter,” said a statement from Mandeville Police.
