My fear is not for the bad guys. It's for innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.
From initial reports, the shooting did not start until the Good Samaritan killed attempted to intervene. Regular folks are not trained to handle these kinds of situations. In this case, it only exacerbated the situation.

So....we just cower and let them get away with it? Embolden the further by letting them know we'll just lie down like good little victims?
Nope. Sorry. Not built that way. These scum, and the far too many like them, are the very reason many of us carry.
