I’m not against carrying weapons, and I know that there could be 1000 other situations at a kids’ sports game during which a gun would be useful, or even save lives, but what good would a gun have done in that case? The abductor was never actually seen by any of the adults in attendance at the game, which means that a gun or any other weapon that requires the target to be in sight before firing would have been ineffective.

It would have been one more option if someone did see the abductor.
