Orlando night club shooting

You can fight someone trying to stab you. You can't fight a bullet. Big difference my friend.

All of a sudden you're an expert?

Have you been shot?

I have a feeling if a shooting like this happened in Mn. there would be a couple dozen people in the crowd who would be conceal / carry people (Even though you aren't technically suppose to c/c in an establishment that sales liquor).

Let's put it this way. I do have some life experiences in that department.

Good, good.

Then, you make your choices in the moment.

I'll make mine.

Colorado is an open carry and cc state yet not one person tried to stop James Holmes while he reloaded continuously. If it happened in MN it would end just like every other mass shooting in any other state.

Colorado, being an open "weed" state also, means no one probably had a clue what was happening.

Aside from GUN-FREE ZONES, how many mass-shootings have been stopped by a 'good-guy with a gun'?

Please write your Congressman, because we simply don't have this data.

If it's true that 'good guys with guns' stop bad guys with guns, then we need this data.

Why are Republicans terrified of data?

Is it the NRA?

Is it lobbyists?

Smith & Wesson?

Come on.

It seems like more and more I read of people stand up and protecting themselves. Usually its a young women or some grand motherly type who shoots some AAA-hole breaking into their house.

google it... it's out there!

Unghhhh.

I read "Rolling Stone".

They say that no mass shootings have been prevented by 'good guys with guns'.

Are they wrong?

Since Sandy Hook there have been over 800 mass shootings (defined by the FBI as four or more people selected indiscriminately and killed - not including the perp).

With so many examples, surely there are many examples where there was a cowboy who stopped the mass slaughter?

Anyone?

Bueller?

DriveInDriveOut and BrownArmy are for gun free zones because they red Xed my suggestion .
Always good to know .

 

[BrownArmy]

I've looked.

I can't find the 'good-guy-with-a-gun-stops-a-mass-shooting' scenario.

Seems like there are a few near misses though, like the potential 'good-guy' at the Gabby Giffords shooting who almost shot some other good guys...

I'm not for gun free zones, but I'm not under any delusion that getting rid of them will stop this kind of thing either.

how about world war 2 for just one example.

 

[olroadbeech]

if we had no good guys with guns no one would be able to leave their homes.

No.

WWII was a major geopolitical conflict involving major armies engaged on multiple battlefronts on multiple continents over the better part of a decade.

Wasn't what I was talking about at all.
