You state "a gunman started firing", by that I assume it was not someone like me that possesses permit to conceal carry.

My point is not "gunmen start firing". My point is a person like myself, legally carrying, that fires to protect myself or others. In that "specific situation", lead me to a "specific case" where innocent bystanders were shot.

I've checked the County in which I live and came up with"

a number of "Zero" incidents as far back as they keep records. I can however point out 2 "recent specific" cases were a customer, legally carrying, that shot armed robbers, thus preventing innocents being injured or worse.

In 1 case the robber made it to the door and that is where he took his last breath. He was pointing his weapon at the clerk and 2 customers when he was shot. Would he have shot those innocent people? If you were one of those customers would you have preferred waiting to find out?

Those 2 incidents were in the last 3 years. If you have a story with that specificity, where a bystander was shot by someone, legally carrying, shooting to protect or prevent a "gunman" from shooting people, and stray bullets hitting innocent bystanders, please tell me where I can read about it.

Why do you feel the need to mentiont that you "carry" all the time. Is it like a bragging thing?

And what good would it do if you had a gun and someone sitting behind you in a theater shot you in the back of the head?

That's what happened to the two young women who were killed in the previous theater killing.

Hi,

If you're carrying a gun and someone shoots you in the back of the head, you would be a dead person with a gun.

I agree with your post.

p.s. I think all of this should be directed to John

I prefer talking in specifics not in generalities. Along with that, why would I use a hypothical person when I can speak about a real person, myself?

"That you carry all the time"? I was not aware of that notation you made. "Bragging"? That is not something I do, but how you choose to perceive it? That is up to you.

Any talk of outlawing pepper spray or needing a license to buy/carry/use a hatchet?
