RE Familyop Post 15:
As I said...society will always have its share; its the nature of giant groups of people living in close proximty. Not one of us can control THAT scenario, and for the idiot who assumes to put himself in THAT situation and take on the proper role of the cops, well, he deserves to be a Darwin Award candidate.
And I don’t think that the situation you outlined is the spirit of the original discussion article - if a citizen shows up at the scene of a crime-in-progress with the intent of interfering, I believe that is already a crime - this article is more concerned with an on-the-spot situation in which an armed citizen inadvertantly and unavoidably finds him/herself in the middle of a life-or-death situation, confronted by an active shooter.
But I’ll never hand over my right to some arbitrary power; I play by the state-by-state carry system’s rules right now because for the most part the system isn’t life-threatening; but if the system ever becomes life threatening, well, all bets are off, and I’ll do whatever is necessary for my Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness” - period.
We’ll agree to disagree.
Carry quietly, discreetly, and always, and stay alive.
