| Allfreedom99 said: Most people who get concealed carry permit have had good training with a hand gun in order to get the permit and most of those people I think would be smart enough to know what to do in that situation in order to save lives.It was said in the chaos the gunman also went up to the balcony level after shooting some on the main level. In the chaos there undoubtedly would have been an oportunity to put a bullet in the back of his head to at least stop him from shooting more. I do however agree that anyone who wants a concealed carry permit should recieve rigorous training before obtaining a license. Still strict gun laws will not stop serious killers. And will just make it more difficult for law abiding citizens to defend themselves. |
I don't think any amount of training with a gun will allow someone to properly comprehend what is going on in a situation like this unless he has actual experience in life or death situations. While it is true in certain situations a gun owner could save the day, this is not one of them. Unless the gun owner is a very experienced police officer or soldier, who has been in combat situations, there is almost no way he would have been able to keep his cool, and patiently wait for an opportunity to kill the man. He would either ran away or start shooting at the man immediately, not knowing he had body armor and being in a dark room full of tear gas.
Regardless hopefully this tragedy is not something that crazy people decide to copy.
