FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. -- A gun-carrying Flagstaff man is being credited with helping stop a bank robbery suspect.

Dave Young was driving up to the Arizona Central Credit Union branch last Friday when he saw a friend's son trying to stop a man jumping over a fence.

Young says he quickly confirmed a bank robbery had occurred and took off after the two in his vehicle.

The Arizona Daily Sun reports Young caught up with the pair and placed his hand on his sidearm, showing the suspect that he was armed. He didn't pull his gun.

Young called 911 and police took the suspect into custody.

Young says he's held a concealed carry permit since 1998. In Arizona, gun owners can carry a concealed or exposed weapon without a permit or training.

    Thank you goes out to mr. Young. Guns properly used dont kill people. responsible gun owners always pay the price when stupid people dont use guns correctly.

    I am willing to bet Gaydos did not read this and will not comment on it because it goes against him and Meghan wanting gun control, instead of doing something to help the mentally ill.
