To be clear: I do not think that a concealed weapon would prevent situations like the Aurora, CO theater. By the time you grab cover, assess the situation,

And that's where most people would fail. They could not properly assess the situation under stress, so they would likely fire at somebody else (especially if theses guys are ALSO armed!!! and therefore possible threats), and off goes the chain reaction leading to chaos and mayhem. More guns in the hands of "regular" people are no solution to the threat of crime, they are a threat on their own. It just doesn't work.

If there were 10 armed citizens in there, I bet not ONE of them wold realize the other 9 were there. You have never been in a stressful/heightened situation. You tunnel, they would have eliminated the threat and a lot less people would have died. They all would have focused on 1 thing - the crazy man shooting people.

I carry everywhere. Did before I was a cop, will after I retire. I am a sheep dog. I watch over the sheep.

When most people hear gunfire, they run FROM it.
When sheep dogs hear gunfire, they run TO it.

My mentality is necessary in an evil world. A sheep will never understand why I protect them under even the greatest of odds. That is why I am on this planet. To protect you when you cower in the corner. I just shake my head at the cop haters. You can hate all you want, but when you need help, I am the first one you call. When you mom stops breathing, I drive as fast as I can to get there to try and save her, putting in the back of my mind you fought with me last week, and took a swing at my head with a chair and threw you in jail. But now you need my help, I am going to do whatever I can to save your mom.....
