You all completely mistake what I say, too. I am not against. I am hard core for CCW. Man, I'm for the right to carry concealed without permits! But in this case, with what he was doing, how many shots you suppose it would take to put him down? I doubt one shot would have done it. I'm saying this guy did not want to survive (like most mass-shooters). But what ever. If you think 30 people would have been armed, you are mistaken. How many members in that meeting had CCW licenses? That is how many you would have had armed if the proceedings would have allowed legal carry. How many? Missouri has CCW. City officials often are allowed to carry - like Judges. Even if it was a gun-free zone with all its idiotic notions, how many in that room had a CCW? I'll wager none of them did. But even if some did, most did not. Therefore, CCW carry in such a situation would have made very little, if any, difference.
Now, we can argue that they should have been able to carry, but most citizens don't, including in Alaska and Vermont where no permit is required.
