I live in Michigan, I have a Michigan Concealed Pistol License. I've carried a firearm professionally and as a citizen for over 30 years. During that time, there have been dozens of times that just having a firearm sent a would be attacker the other direction. So far, I've had to draw my weapon maybe 5 or 6 times to defend myself. I've had to actually pull the trigger in one encounter, that was on the job. (Security guard, NOT police.)
Believe me when I tell you, no sane person EVER wants to take a human life. But, when the choice is your life or theirs, their is only one viable response. If this football player was as nuts as he sounds, it doesn't matter if he used a gun or not, the result would most likely have been the same. But, it's always the favorite anti-gun nut thing to blame the gun. Don't blame the poor bad guy, his mind was taken over by the gun. He's just another victim.
Victim? Bull manure. He was a coward and a bully.
Of course, that's just my opinion.
