I'm not sure what that sentence was intended to ask ("put down...before someone...used deadly force...?"). However, it was proved in and by the event that, with the students unarmed, Cho gunned down several people.
Common sense would tell anyone that there would have been a greater likelihood of Cho's being stopped sooner, had armed persons been present.
back to the "what if" again....what are the chances of Cho encountering a student CCW'ing if CCW was allowed at Vtech? I mean this is trivial so hence my point. Cho could had never encountered a student CCW'ing. And it's one thing for someone to be CCW'ing but how do you know the person won't **** the bed and not use his gun to take out Cho. Hey, guys deploy overseas in the military, some **** the bed when they first come under fire for the first time. So again, if you want to do "what if" then go ahead...
Isn't that irrelevant? There were no police officers present when Cho started shooting. yeah I KNOW, there isn't police present at every spot you visit outside your house. Is that the logic to use to support CCW anywhere and everywhere?
Has anyone noticed that people attempt mass murders much less frequently in places in which guns are not permitted? lots of places don't permit guns LOL so yeah the statistics of a mass murder rampage happening at a gun range or police station will always be far less than at a bar or school, although here in VA we did have a knucklehead shoot up a police substation a few years back.
