300 civilians with guns in a Walmart. What could go wrong? They all pull out their weapons when they hear the shots. They see someone else with a weapon and think its the mass shooter and shoot them. You could have a dozen of these cases with that many people. The mass shooter will still kill a few before he gets shot because he has the initiative. You'll still have over 20 people dead, half of them killed by the armed civilians thinking their target was the mass shooter.
What a bunch of false bullshit and fantasy.
What kind of looney-toons cartoon world do you live in?
If a concealed handgun carrier does not initially see the shooter when shots begin, surely he/she will know the direction of the shots, and 99,999 times out of 100,000, the handgun carrier will FIRST try to escape,
without pulling the weapon.
Your post is EVIDENCE that you are not living in reality and you buy into the bullshit. You MUST be a commie leftist because you clearly do NOT understand human nature.
In Fact, in Texas, LTC (license to carry) holders are trained to not intervene or act like police in those situations. We're trained to de-escalate, and only pull for SELF defense or defense of family members AFTER attempting to flee or hide. As if that were not enough, the Texas LTC requires an applicant to demonstrate, at the gun range, the ability to use the hand gun with a high level of precision at various ranges in different patterns of fire. The instructor will call out different shot combinations (double tap, three-round bursts, etc.) and distances of up to 45 feet, so any argument that there would be significant collateral damage is also fiction and fear-mongering, at best.
Most of the concealed-carry courses are dedicated to situations where the carrier does NOT pull the weapon.
The LTC course and other training I received is one of the reasons I support MANDATORY training for everyone as a condition for graduating from high school.
So, take your completely unrealistic, bullshit fantasy scenarios and shove them up your ass. You just proved that you're a gun-grabbing cuck without the ability to think for yourself.
