Italian American Heritage Month: Kaylub Giamanco

🚨 HERO - Kaylub Giamanco, the Concealed Carrying Father in Bend, Oregon who grabbed his Handgun and took out the Silver Rail Elementary School Shooter last week, just told his story for the first time. 👏 While driving past the school around 1:00 PM on his way home for lunch, Mr. Giamanco saw a 16-year-old Gunman dressed in black fire a Shotgun outside the school and climb over the fence toward the building. Giamanco pulled his legally owned .40-Caliber Handgun from his truck console, called 911 as he pulled into the parking lot, and told the dispatcher: "I'm sorry, I have to go in. People are going to die." "I started hearing children pleading for their lives, and then I started hearing gunfire. And I just started army crawling faster and faster. And I told myself, this is probably the last thing that I'm ever going to do." "I crawled through the bottom window that was shot out and continued onto the rug inside where there's a little breezeway with stairs. And then the special needs classroom was to my left. At that point, I was on the ground on my hands and knees. I re-racked my weapon to make sure that a live round came out so that I knew that I was ready to go." Police say the Maniac Shooter still had roughly 44 Shotgun Shells left when a brave Teacher tackled him and Giamanco ended the threat for good. Both that fearless Teacher and Kaylub Giamanco are TRUE American Heroes who saved countless children's lives—Giamanco (and the teacher) should receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom IMMEDIATELY! 🇺🇸 Every time anti-gun Democrats lecture law-abiding Citizens that nobody "needs" to carry a firearm, remember what happened in Bend while they have armed security. CONCEALED CARRY SAVES LIVES! 👏🏽 https://t.co/VN4bm4kDlI
