Charles Bronson...please pickup the white courtesy phone.
I'm with you; concealed carry would have produced a much more satisfactory outcome. I would prefer to see one dead thug - shot by an armed citizen - rather than a hundred injured law-abiding citizens. Even better, I'd prefer to see a hundred thugs shot dead in one night rather than see one innocent person beaten by those thugs. The right to keep and bear arms is not just a God-given right to protect ourselves, nor is it merely a constitutionally protected legal right, armed self-defense is a moral responsibility that must be exercised to maintain a civil society.
