I guess it depends on the locale. Here in NC I don't think anyone would hestitate to use their guns in a case like this.
Could be. I just see talk as cheap and when push comes to shove, it seems that most people just do as their told when it hits the fan.
Now I would expect some unfortunate retaliation against unarmed and innocent Muslims, for example - that kind of reaction is not hard to imagine.
Hope for the best.
