Thanks for your thoughtful reply. Pretty much any round is capable of harming bystanders. A shotgun sprays any load other than a deer slug. Even an old-fashioned 30/06 round is capable of going straight through the "intended target" and killing some little kid fifty yards behind. Guns in public areas pose collateral damage problems, period. If we allow licensed carry in such places we are going to have to be willing to suffer such casualties. Allowing guns in places like bars, movie theaters, sports arenas is going kill innocent people. It just is. Maybe it is worth it. I don't know.An interesting legal approach... wouldn't the same reasoning apply to RPGs or atomic weapons? Please explain.
Possibly, depending upon the circumstances. As long as the weapon in question, if used, doesn't harm anyone other than the intended target. It would depend a great deal upon population densities.
I can't think of any location in which a nuclear weapon would be safe. An RPG, maybe some locations.
