Which is absolutely correct. The people in this thread arguing that you shouldn't even have to take care of your weapon, what the pineapple is wrong with you? Yes that means you Flonne.
Quote:I read an article the other day on the Stars & Stripes ( Military newspaper) and it had an article written by some snob (Probably civilian) who said that Had someone in the theater been carrying concealed it would of not made any difference at all. That was literally the title of the article. I wanted to flip the pineappleing dining table. It made me rage.
Barring some extreme luck, in most cases like this, It would not. The man was supposedly wearing body armour and was absolutely prepared for what he was going to do. Do you really think a random civilian starting shooting back at the person in the middle of a crowded cinema would have improved the situation? Even for a moment assuming that the theoretical person was a military employee, would that even be enough to make it a good idea in the middle of what I can only logically assume would be a massive panic?
