“Some guy shows up at a church with no ID, it could take a while to find out who he is.”

Particularly with his head now blown off.

I pack every Sunday... Anyone comes into my church looking for trouble is going to get more than seven guns pointed back. Bless that church, but a 7 gun to 200+ congregation is not that great. My church? 90 people and at least 25-30 are armed!

I do not believe for a second that every armed person in that church drew his weapon.

A lot of people freeze in emergencies, a lot are sitting down which makes drawing harder, and church goers tend to be older, with slower reflexes, than the average of the population.

“By professional standards, the draw could have been faster.”

There are standards for shooting under these circumstances? How are they established?

I dunno about a million Trump supporters want to buy him a beer tonight and I don’t know if he drinks beer.

I know. Reality is what it is. It had the opportunity for an “I Am Negan” moment.

Until you find his car in the parking lot...

"We've positively identified the perp as John Smith."

"How do you know this?"

"There's one car left in the parking lot and that's the name it's registered to."

"That's some outstanding police work, fellas!"

Only ‘good’ if the head was the only thing visible

Body shots have less chance of missing and the perp could have killed several more people before a second shot got him.

Damn, one of the parishioners shot (killed) nearly point blank sat back up like nothing happened. So sad. The other one killed, bless his soul, was way to slow to his gun while completely exposing himself, maybe purposely?
