ORIGINAL: MrKite One of these days a private citizen with a concealed carry permit is going to take out a mass shooter and the entire conversation will change. Check the web. I've seen a number of cases... Problem is, when there was a CCW permit holder around they didn't get to be "mass shooters". K. I wish they got more coverage. But I don't want them to reach that level so I can win some political points, I'm not Joe. Like it or not, gun control is a political issue. I'd like these types of incidents (avoided deaths) to get as much ink as possible, specifically to make the PPLs shut the fuck up, getting only their side of the story out. We need some news outlet (even fox doesn't do this to any extreme) to balance the constant bombardment of left-sided issue reporting, especially when it comes to this particular issue. NO ONE is slamming home the fact that "Gun Free Zone" signs are not only an invitation to scumbags of every stripe, they are ineffective at what they're supposed to accomplish. Of course, that's because of the logical simplicity of: "Law breakers don't obey laws, anyway" NO ONE is getting the word out that something like 70,000 crimes (forget mass shootings; just robberies and such) are avoided on an annual basis (I think that's the FBI estimate) by law-abiding, concerned (and yes, even scared) citizens.
