A few Indian CCWs might have made a difference

Probably not. The attackers were heavily armed and took cover right away.

A lot of good the gun laws did. It didn’t stop the terrorist from getting them and using them.

Yea, unfortunately, this was too well planned. They would have been ready.

They were very well trained. Still if I was in the hotel and I had a CCW - I would have a chance.

“Probably not. The attackers were heavily armed and took cover right away. “


No one can know the unknowable of course, but the more unknowns and unpredictables thrown at a military operation, the more likely that the operation fails or at least gains less than it wanted.

Having valued personell killed by individuals, having safe havens created by the armed ctizens, time tables disrupted by armed individuals, areas denied access to by last ditch stands of armed indiviuals, fear, delay, and uncertainty placed in the minds of the attackers.

At least they may have had a chance to fight back.
