70. I did indeed answer your question.
You asked "you have one in the left column for 10 years of Concealed weapons, what does that tell you?"
I answered "That the odds of a CCWer being confronted with a mass shooting are very very slim."

For some reason you are hung up on mass shootings. It is not the only type of violent crime. But since you cannot seem to get off of the subject, I asked "Also, how many mass shootings have there been in the past 10 years using your strict critera? Remember you must subtract "may-issue" and "no-issue" states and cities. Also you must subtract shootings that took place in any federal building, gun-free zone, k-12 school, or any other place off limits to conceal carry (I.e. Workplaces, casinos, etc). Please get back to me with your list. We will count them up and compare the left and right columns."

The problem is that I shook my magic 8 ball and I already have my answer. You will not answer the questions that I just asked. You will change the subject or ignore it completely. Because what you will find will not support your argument. There have not been that many mass shootings where a CCWer would have been allowed to carry legally in the past 10 years in the US.

Again, I'm glad you have never felt you needed to carry a gun. I hope you never have to. The beauty for me is that your opinion or feelings are not policy or law.
