It’s like Civil War vet, Sam Watkins, wrote in ‘Company Aytch’...”I shot at those who was shootin’ at me.”
Exactly.
Hmmmm, let me see.....An Islamo Terrordooshbbag is coming at me firing off rounds in all directions.
Would I rather be sensibly unarmed and “cower in place”
OR
Would I rather have my Sig P229 holstered under my shirt, ready to send him off to see his 72 prepubescent girlfriends.
Gonna have to think about that.
My gun is used to protect me. If there was a Mall shooting the thing to do is try to hide. If I see the shooter looking towards me then I shoot; I don’t go and do a Jane Wayne and go hunting the shooters to be some sort of heroine. Cops hear of a Mall shooting and see you with a gun, guess what?
