So, in other words, complain about it on the internet and let the government take care of us?
I didn’t say that ... what I am saying is that one shouldn’t be fooled into thinking that there is any deterrent in these situations by a lot of people carrying (concealed). We KNOW here that there are a whole lot doing so. And while it may be advantageous for a particular individual, if they happen to be aware of a developing situation ... and thus they can protect themselves ... it simply does not provide the deterrent for those who act quickly and irrationally and kill others, with their “Wild West” mentality (even if it is inadvertent) ... and even if they are quickly killed immediately following the incident.
It would seem that we’ve come to the point where everyone is willing to “take their chances” with letting bullets fly, regardless of the consequences. The protection factor may definitely be there for certain situations where someone is able to successfully defend themselves (in action) but the “deterrence factor” is not there.
So, I would tell people to not rely on the deterrence factor, but do rely on being able to defend oneself.
