A gun wouldn't have done Judge Lefkow much good, since she wasn't there at the time. I suppose if her 89-year-old mom could have had a piece on her walker, or her convalescing husband had a hogleg strapped to his crutches, they might have had a chance. I'm all for being armed at least as much as is legally practicable, but I don't see it as being very practical here. Maybe they would have been O.K. if they had continued to have police protection 24/7, but who wants to live like that?
