True and i’m not at all trying to make a case against the right to carry guns. Just that it wouldn’t be an easy situation in a presumably dark theater, gun or no gun, to defend yourself or to stop the killer from killing others. Now if it had taken place in the brightly lit lobby of the movie theater, that would be different. Anyway, my only intention to speculate what would have happened if someone in the theater was actually carrying a gun last night. In my opinion, in this specific case, it probably wouldn’t have helped unless Jack Bauer was there.
I think the best thing to speculate is what would the perp have done differently if there were anything like 10% or 20% of U.S. citizens carrying concealed handguns?
