31. I often wondered how many guns...

...were in the theater in Colorado some years ago when the gunman slipped in the back door and began spraying bullets from an assault rifle. No one returned that fire in a state that encouraged concealed carry. There had to be at least 10 guns carried by good guys "for their protection", but not one used it.

They ran like everyone else because they knew drawing and firing would make them the next target.
