As opposed to just sitting there getting shot at? I'll take the multiple carrier scenario.

Well, Columbine was a "multiple carrier scenario"...so why would you advocate for multiple shooters to be unleashed on school campuses?

(You're the one who said you would "take" that scenario...and I specifically mentioned Columbine as one multiple-shooter scenario)

One permit carrier shooting another permit carrier = potential manslaughter (or other) charges...

Bottom line tho of my comment: People at least need to get their "what would I do" scenarios out of the fantasyland of the Old West...As more & more people carry...such scenarios will more likely be triangular (or more) vs. a shootout @ the OK corral.

And the more where there's mass confusion (& poor visibility) the worst those situations can turn out.

The shooter is taken out by a permit carrier, who is then taken out by a permit carrier, who is then taken out by a permit carrier.

All of a sudden, you've got THREE murderers-manslaughterers up for prosecution vs. one.

No, Columbine was a "multiple active shooter" scenario as opposed to "mutiple carrier scenario" I referred to 'multiple concealed law abiding carriers'. People who would be aware of the consequences. A "perfect" scenario, absolutely not, but a whole heck of lot better than nothing.

Careful, your talking points are showing. These "wildwest" scenarios are not happening. They are liberal, sorry, socialist/communist, fantasies.

Your scenario is based on a presumption of zero murderer identification, and total willingness of permit carriers to shoot someone merely because they are shooting.

You comply ignore the probability that there would quickly be a focus of multiple permit carriers on the murderer, or that the permit carriers would be loudly communicating with each other for ID purposes, or that any situational awareness would be taking place at all.

And if that's not enough, look at the numbers. The Aurora bastard shot 71 people and killed 12. Your way, the murderer would have been shot, plus a few permit carriers shooting each other because they have suddenly become completely stupid. So, 71/12+ versus 3-5 max.

And I haven't even started on that old, tired, useless platitude about a people living with integrity, instead of crawling around in abject shame hoping some bastard doesn' feel like murdering them or their children. Because as we know, philosophy is SO hard to figure out - and craven murderers are SO brave, that virtually no act of courage affects them at all.
