I won't go into details, but involves a CC 'civillian' and theater shooting. Typical NBC fashion they had to smear the CC guy.
 
Yep, just keep on driving that 'personal defense is a myth' paradigm into the sub-consciousness of the American voter.

Let me guess, he shot two innocent bystanders through the heart at 60 feet while the madman was spraying bullets into the walls and ceiling. Then, when the SWAT team turned up several minutes later, they were completely confused by having to choose between the guy behind the seats in the fifth row with the little pistol, or the guy in the front with the AK47 and the chest pouch full of magazines standing there shooting at the patrons.
 
That is Dick Wolf's show, not NBC's. He also does Chicago PD and Chicago Fire (and don't forget about L&O), shows that similarly treat civilian gun ownership in a not-so-admirable fashion.

Aaaaaa....I thought we were kind of getting past this.

Someone posted 60 Minutes quoted a law enforcement official saying something about CC holders could possibly be useful.

I've seen guns portrayed positively in a couple situation comedies (Big Bang Theory was one). I even saw in a movie the assassin/sniper being given a rifle and demanding to be allowed to sight it in before the mission.
 
Chicago Med Spoiler Alert

A teenage ‘prankster’ (their word, not mine) enters a movie theater thru the emergency exit with a leaf blower trying to make a video of people panicking.

People do panic running out of the theater and trampling folk on their way out. A CC person in the audience shoots the kid with the leaf blower saying he identified the kid's 'gun' as ‘probably an M16A1’.

The CC holder is initially hailed as a hero, when a couple hours later it is revealed the prankster had only a leaf blower the CC holder is vilified as a trigger happy vigilante.

The teenage prankster is near death from his gunshot wounds.

The CC holder is portrayed as a very nervous, possibly mentally unstable guy.

For comic relief, unconnected with the shooting, the doctors get to deal with an old racist, bigot who gets what’s coming to her. (Amazed it was a woman and not a man.)

The phrase ‘Play stupid games, win stupid prizes’ wasn’t used but IMhO it should have been.
 
Clever prank, the joke's on the kid.

Remind me when a couple of kids with airsoft AK47s burst into restaurant yelling 'Allahu akbar' that it's all a joke.

Its a Dick Wolfe show, the only people that should have guns are the police and he tries to smear them as many times as possible.
