There. Fixed it.
As usual, the disinformationalists argue from the false premise that any solution they don't like be 100% effective.
No -- no agenda here, folks. Move along...
It may not get you out of a shooting, but you have a much better chance of walking away from one if you do have a gun.
But have you ever noticed how many FEWER people carrying guns are the victims of shootings?
“Could you protect yourself if you only had a gun? “
Actually the question should be...
Could you protect yourself if you had NO gun.
The answer to that is an absolute NO.
End of lesson.
“gun violence”?
Kinda like “SUV rage”?
Carrying a gun may not, but shooting the gun you carry will.
Gee.....I guess we'll never know as the choice wasn't even available. I hate libtards.

tell that to Suzanna Hupp.
No shots fired, BUT THE CRIME STATISTICS FALL!!!!
Fact: Having a loaded weapon raises your probability of shooting the assailant by more than 125 MILLION percent.
Things like that wouldn’t happen if more law abiding citizens were like this guy:

It is an amazing scientific discovery, considering that a student's life depends on eliminating the threat, whereas a LEO's life depends on just the opposite.
I don’t agree with your BARF alert.
The article very accurately describes adrenaline dump (tunnel vision, loss of fine motor skills) and raises an excellent question about whether carrying a handgun would help the average person thru a shooting crisis. And it provides excellent advice on what you can do if you don’t happen to have a gun handy.
I wish we could get ABC here in New Zealand: I’d be fascinated to see how the students do in the simulation. I will go out on a limb and speculate, tho’ — I suspect it’s not as easy for them as pull-out-the-Glock-and-shoot-the-Bad-Guy. I bet most of them adrenaline dump and freeze up.
I’d be really grateful if someone could watch this one and tell me how it goes.

***** liers and puppets
In a situation like Virginia Tech University shootings, the very worst case is exactly what happened. No change.
In the best case, fewer people, and possibly none would have died.
Somebody point out the down side here, cuz I missed it.
Electing Obama won’t necessarily improve your life either.
Wearing a life vest won’t absolutely prevent you from drowning if your boat sinks either. Nor will having a fire extinguisher in the house absolutely prevent it from burning down.
However, both will put the odds on your side, should either of those eventualities occur.

Wouldn’t necessarily get you out of a shooting, but it will enormously increase your odds of being on the winning side!
Seat belts won’t guarantee that you will survive a car crash.
Helmets won’t guarantee that you survive a motorcycle crash.
Low cholesterol won’t guarantee that you live to age 90.
Smoke detectors won’t guarantee that you will walk out of a fire.
But, they sure do help!
Same thing for carrying a gun.
