if carrying a gun around, your chance of doing something harmful with that gun are way higher than the chance that you are in a position to be a hero. -- nm - zork Jul 20, 08:41 5
- That is not the debate that I am having. My point is, if I am at that same showing and I am legally carrying a gun anf this madman opens fire. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 20, 08:43 4
  - the point is that you carry that gun around all the other days that this isn't happening and there's a higher chance of something tragic happening - zork Jul 20, 08:50 3
    - You are not listening. all my debate is is this one night. This one moment. Do you do nothing, or do you try? -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 20, 08:54 2

of course not, I just don't think adding more random bullets would improve things. -- nm - loosilu Jul 20, 08:39 7
- Well, that is how you see it. I guess letting him continue to intentionally kill is a better option. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 20, 08:41 6

    - Agreed. But as I said, if I am carrying a gun, I have a certain level of confidence and training. And it is my responsibility as a human to protect - The Dark Spawn Jul 20, 08:45 4
      - If your desire is to prevent the death of that 12 year old in this situation, then you get between the gunman and that 12 year old whether - TWuG Jul 20, 09:01
      - Honestly, I think you might think you have that skill level....but until we know for sure, you don't...and even then, you are saying you're better - Will Hunting Jul 20, 08:59
      - I would not, as a general rule, assume that everyone who might be carrying a weapon has the adequate level of confidence and training to be effective - znufrii Jul 20, 08:49
