(4,987 posts)Good guys who have lived within the law into middle age, seldom turn "bad"
statistically. However since there is a small possibility they could, as you describe
a scenario where they get drunk and start shooting their concealed carry pistol,
what is the best possible IMMEDIATE defense?
a. call 911
b. shoot the drunk
Option "a" would entail a delay of 7-15 minutes before armed cops arrive.
Option "b" would need a person in the crowd with concealed carry pistol.
Take your pick. If I was in that crowd, I am going for option "b".
As my OP stated, we have too many guns in our society. Passing laws will take
years to work if at all. Laws exist in some cities. They have bigger gun violence than
areas where guns are allowed. Again, I am all for strict anti-assault weapons laws to
be passed. But we can't disarm the "good" guys until the laws have an effect.
