Being a "regular guy" with no military or tactical training I'm a bit concerned about the idea (that may or may not be strongly held here) that concealed carry licensees are somehow expected to charge in like the Calvary and defend the population against mass murderers.
I carry a PDW, (personal defense weapon) not a rifle. It has limited range and ammunition.
I neither want to be a victim nor be hailed a hero. To try to engage in combat with a determined shooter with inadequate firepower could be lethal.
I fail to see how all this talk about having armed civilian(s) engaging in firefights with shooters (amid throngs of other unarmed panicked civilians) profits the pro-gun movement?
The media labels us as a bunch of loons just itching to draw our weapons.
This idea of armed civilians jumping into the fray with guns ablazing I think just gives the other side more ammunition to shoot at us.
