Ragner, you have some ideas that go crosswise what many say,
you want to go off, OK, you have your own thread
But if we're going to keep trotting out the "a CCW holder could have prevented this" line, why do we then turn around and advise everyone to avoid actually using the CCW to protect other people? "Be a good witness" and so forth.
PLEASE DON'T DRIFT MINE
here is the short,
guy running with gun, kids being shot,
how many times do you shoot him
is he a cop, is he the BG
NO, he is YOU, your widow will likely get a condolence letter from the cops...
Real life isn't a video game, doesn't come with uniforms and the cops will shoot you just as quickly as the bad guy.
AND WOULD INTERVENE AT THE BEGINNING stopping the shooting, and therefore by the time the cops/other teachers (who would know who should and shouldn't be there MUCH better than you...) either only the BG would be standing or it would be over.
I'm for arming teachers, but the difference is, they are INSIDE, and likely to be much easier to identify/intervene than YOU.
Now, how you do convey that to the general public, that more guns, not less is the answer?
