After stopping an active shooter situation, 22-year-old Elisjsha Dicken was deemed a hero by the City of Greenwood as they explained that he was well within his right and was “lawfully caring a firearm”. While law enforcement said Dicken was not breaking the law, it seems the numerous hosts of “The View” didn’t hear that part. On Tuesday, Sunny Hostin stated that the 22-year-old was illegally carrying a firearm.
Before Hostin made her outlandish statements, co-host Joy Behar criticized the good guy with a gun persona. “They say that a good guy with a gun can control a bad guy with a gun. Well, we saw in Uvalde that that’s not true.”
Lindsey Granger, a known conservative, used Indiana’s shooting where Dicken intervened as an example. “We saw that it is true in Indiana.”
Behar quickly answered, “It was true in Indiana. That was a lucky moment. And you know what? I feel like this: if you’re a good guy with a gun you should not object to background checks or licensing or, you know, limitations on military-style weapons that kill thousands at once. Or hundreds at once. So, why can’t they just pull that off?”
Finally getting her chance, Sunny Hostin insisted Dicken broke the law. “But with this good Samaritan thing. Listen, I was trained when I was at the justice department in firearms. And I was trained in defensive firearm training. It is very hard to hit a moving target. It is hard for people that are trained to hit a moving target. It is very lucky that that good Samaritan hit that moving target in that way. He had a gun permit, but he wasn’t supposed in the mall with a gun. So he broke the law, even though he was a good Samaritan.”
It should be noted that thanks to Republican Governor Eric Holcomb, he signed a law that removed the requirement for a license to carry a gun. It became known as “Constitutional Carry”. If a resident was able to obtain a permit without restrictions, they can now carry without the need for a license.

It’s so easy to lie on tv and she gets paid. But who watches anymore “bots”
Those that shoot their mouth off usually end up putting their foot there. Never watched it and never will but from reading their idiotic comments here now I know why I have not watched it. Hope that good guy sues them for defamation.
Proof you do not need to have brains or common sense to co host the View. The 22 year old is 1000 times an Patriotic American than any one on the View.
Hostin is an ignorant moron. I am a resident of Indiana and licensed for concealed carry. I have never come across any shopping mall in Indiana that posts a “no firearms” sign on the entry doors to the mall. I always check entry doors to maintain lawful compliance. It is possible that this particular mall posts such signage, but I sincerely doubt it. The absolute only time I have seen these signs are at some hospitals, government buildings, schools, and a very few businesses. It has been my happy experience that in Indiana most people are intelligent enough to realize that “gun free zones” are the opportunistic killing fields of criminals.
It is ignorant people like Hostin that make all of us unsafe.
To take the liberty of paraphrasing the great George C. Scott as the even greater General George S. Patton, ” That bilious hooker Sunny Hostin knows as much about guns and self defense as she does about *****ng!”
Any information that comes from the program The View is more or less a lie.
If you watch the View you’re just plain stupid.
The View has what is called a Pat Hand in poker. It’s a full house of 5 morons.
