A Marine Corps veteran in Wisconsin carrying a concealed weapon stopped a man from kicking a woman to death.

The marine held the man to the ground until police arrive.
The officer told marine put his hands over his head and show them his concealed gun permit.

The marine said "Reach in my wallet in my back pocket."

Marine stated to the news "It’s times like this when he supports Wisconsin’s concealed carry law, and the rights of gun owners.
“We do good things. Not all of us are bad or crazy gun nuts. There are good people,”

Good story, but what's it matter he is a former government employee (marine)?

One should strive to be as descriptive as possible when composing written work.

"Marine stops man" is more descriptive than "man stops man".

The marine's status as a veteran is irrelevant, but it does make the story more interesting and less bland.

He's not a marine, but a former marine. Practice what you preach.

Showing a cop your permit seems to work better than pointing your gun at him.

A marine that is no longer a marine.

There is no such thing as a former Marine - there are only Marines and non-marines.

A Marine may be retired or discharged but they are a Marine forever.

And, when their active duty days are over, Marines remain reserve Marines, retired Marines, or Marine veterans. There is no such thing as an ex-Marine or former-Marine. Once a Marine, always a Marine. Commitment never dies.
