I wish more people were armed at venues and schools. If there were two guys with handguns at the majority of places in America, I bet people would be thinking twice about approaching the place.

Wouldn't that make it really hard to identify who the shooter was if an active situation occurred?

I mean, obviously you'd aim for whoever was firing their weapon at innocents, but if two people are firing their weapons at each other, does that mean they both forfeit their lives?

The police yell for everyone to get on the ground. Anyone refusing to comply gets shot. Though, yes, it is a risk that you have to consider before deciding to carry.

Easy to tell. The guy responding to the active shooter won't be shooting at anybody else and won't be shooting at all when the police do arrive.

I agree, and they'll be waiting and strategically placing them self without giving themselves away in order to take out the shooter.

Its not like the movies, if there is an active shooter and someone with a CCW is present there are two outcomes.

  1. The concealed carry is shot dead, and is not an issue when the police arrive.

  2. The shooter is shot dead and is the carrier is not brandishing by the time the police arrive because there is no longer a threat.

I'm sure people might not know who the shooter is but I think you have a better chance of stopping the actual shooter when someone else has a gun on them than no one having one.

And increase the chances of friendly fire. If you're at a concert, packing heat on the offhand chance someone else is, are you really going to be able to perfectly pick targets out in a loud, dark, and distracting place like that? Or are you going to just add to the body count before you and your prey finally correctly identify each other.

A responsible gun owner would not fire into a crowd of people just because they saw the gunman.

A responsible gun owner might take aim at his target, but when he assesses the scene and realizes a missed shot may hit innocent bystanders, he will most likely not take the shot.

In privately owned venues like a concert, people are already searched and items that could be dangerous in large groups like knives are taken away. Even if anti-gun laws didn't exist, guns would still probably be taken away in private venues just like they were before anti-gun laws came into existence.

On the off chance someone managed to get a gun in and use it, you would still have easily identified armed security to take out the gunman before they did too much damage.

I bet people would be thinking twice about approaching the place.

Unless you have a death wish and want to murder as many people as you can before you go out, at which point you won't give a shit.

[–]dmilin 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

In which case, the person with the death wish will be taken out before they can maximize the damage.

There really isn't any evidence to support that. Looking for instances of someone carrying a weapon bringing down the perpetrator... well the only articles I could found had to go back 20 years to find just 10 examples.

There really isn't any evidence that shows an armed person wasn't able to take out a perpetrator in a situation. Just to be specific, I'm talking about an average armed citizen (not police), having a gun, and failing to stop for example, a bank robbery.
