"We couldn't touch them for fear police might think that we were part of the massacre and shoot us," he said.

"We couldn't touch them for fear police might think that we were part of the massacre and shoot us," he said. "A small group (or one man) laid waste to a city with dedicated, fearless police officers desperately trying to help, because of access to an insane amount of fire power.

This has always been the question when CCP walk around carrying their pistols or revolvers claiming that a good guy with a gun is the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun. How do the police know who the "good" guys are and who the "bad" guys are? If the police show up while you're playing action hero with the other person, what assurances do you have that they won't shoot you just for having your weapon out?

And yet, a vast majority of the "good guy with the gun" people still think they're going to get into an old school shoot out with a man dressed in black and labeled "bad guy" one day, saving everyone.

The truth of the matter is, your chances of being in that situation are something like <1%. Which means you're less likely to be trained and prepped for such a situation causing even more chances of failing spectacularly.

Much like the conservative "Obamacare saved my life and I was wrong" mea culpas, you get no fucking points for this.

It is the affliction of the conservative mind in the US that shit doesn't matter until it happens to you and yours, then all of a sudden it is an issue.

In this situation a "good guy with a gun" would have been powerless. A handgun doesn't have the range to hit someone across the street and 32 floors up, and it is next to impossible to conceal carry a high powered rifle.

In most public situations a "good guy with a gun" is better off keeping his firearm holstered...
