I would tend to agree with your point, however, that was one of the
reasons the Terrorists were able to carry out this act. They chose a
place where the people are completely defensless. The Beaurocrats are
now adding fuel to the fire by removing all knives and, I can't believe
this, fingernail clippers.
I've had a CCW for over 5 years now. Only had to pull my weapon once.
I don't believe we've had a single event where an individual killed
anyone in anger where the shooter had a permit. We have to go through
some training on when/where etc....
They even have the testimony of a few scumbag criminal types who stated
that they chose their victims on the basis of whether or not they could
be armed....
An armed person is a citizen, an unarmed person is a subject. I prefer
to be a citizen.
