Are you suggesting that they should have just started firing blindly
at anything that they thought looked threatening?
Perhaps we should be demanding that your CCW be revoked if you have
such a poor understanding about the legal use of force.
At least one of those guys actually turned his gun over to the first
cop he saw because he did not want to be shot by the cops.
Just about everytime there is a mass shooting at a school, a church, a
movie theater, a shopping center, a parking lot or any other place where
folks gather, the NRA or some gun nut says, "If only there was someone
there carrying a firearm, he/she could have shot the shooter and saved X
number of people."
That's nonsense. Maybe an armed citizen might "save the day" in a tiny
number of cases, but it doesn't seem very likely. The open carry guys in
Dallas ran for their lives. Apparently down there, open carry works well
to intimidate shoppers at Target or fast food venues, but not when there
is a bad guy shooting, eh?
There are cases of CCW people shooting the bad guy but they are
generally not hyped up like the cases where they don't. In Dallas, the
"open carry" people had more fear of being shot by the cops than the
shooter. The guy I talked about was arrested and held for several
hours, He still had not got his gun back the last time CNN had him on.
That is plenty of reason to get away.
Well, then, perhaps the lesson is that "open carry" is great for
intimidating shoppers but not so much for taking care of bad guys,
especially when there are cops present.
Is that your take away. It's no wonder so many think you are a
sick ****.
