So in that full theatre in Aurora, no one else was armed except the bad guy.
Hubert Williams, former head of the Newark police department and president of the Police Foundation, said that the idea that average citizens with guns could keep a theater safe only makes sense "on a piece of paper."
"Reality is much more complicated. What if you pull a gun out, take aim and someone else thinks you're the shooter?" he asked. "Would you stand up against an AR-15, AK-47 military-style assault weapon? Give me a break."
R you are taking the opinion of a policeman from a state with limited concealed carry. In Texas a CCW with a pistol did take out a bad guy with an AK but died saving others so it can happen

Then tell us, Democracy4sale, what you would do in such a similar situation. Others have given you their thought on it and you call them names and deride them, but you have not said how you would have stopped the killing or defended yourself or your "loved" ones (if you have any).
