29. Impossible! It didn't follow the antis script.
Wed Sep 12, 2012, 10:48 AM
Sep 2012

According to the anti one or several of the following must happen if an LAC tries to stop a mass shooting:

He will misidentify the shooter and shoot the wrong person.

Even if he does correctly identify the shooter, he will miss and hit innocent bystanders.

The police will arrive and shoot the LAC.

He will get shot by another LAC who thinks he is the active shooter.

He will freeze up, wet his pants, and cry for Momma. (An anti actually posted that LACs would do that in a crisis.)

Instead of all the anti-gun, hand-wringing, stuff that they predicted, he shot the perp and stopped the crime, thereby saving an unknown number of lives.
