I agree. He does seem to be taking it too far. I do seem to remember reading about not only private citizens, but paid security - maybe I’m mistaking two places (mall/church). I can’t say anything bad even if someone did freeze - we’re human. Many of us like to talk the talk, but when it comes to the taking of another life, I honestly don’t know how I’d react - even if he was armed and on a rampage. I think I’d do the right thing.

None of us knows until it happens. However, there's a difference in those who tend to get concealed permits, at least in the folks I personally know. They have thought it through, many times, just as I have done in the past and do even today. The difference means that people who take on the responsibility of picking up and strapping on a weapon have considered the ramifications of carrying that weapon. If they are put in a position of having to defend others, they will try to do so (or themselves of course). Most people will not be so inclined as to stop and think it over when bullets are flying. No one will, if they have the means to stop a murderer like that, run and hide, they will do SOMETHING even if they leave their gun alone and call 911. At least most will have presence of mind to do so.

Being under fire is not a good or pleasant experience. It is a SURVIVAL situation, and it is in those times that "survival instinct" can take over. That's all I will say on that matter.
