An interesting story for those who think a gun is the best defence against other people with guns. Seems not to be true if your skin is darker.
Seems that after a mall shooting, a black man drew his gun in self defence and was helping usher people to safety when he was spotted by police and promptly shot. The gun wasn't much protection for him. Also unsurprisingly is the story from the police has changed from them killing the shooter to killing a man brandishing a gun to killing a man who had his gun out after a public shooting.

And yes, Alabama is an open carry state.
