[QUOTE="cachsux, post: 1015158, member: 5529"] Unless you or yours are the collateral damage. I mean no disrespect toward your views on the fact someone could have ended the CO or many other attacks sooner. I do feel however ,based on every gun owning person I know and that's a lot, that if a shooting situation started to a person every person from civilian to cop to ex-military would take cover first and assess the situation as they drew their firearms. And those are the ones I feel wouldn't panic when the bullets came in their direction. The amount of time may be only a few seconds but I strongly feel they all would take it. That in itself would save lives. If in the hypothetical situation more than one samaritan had fire arms and draw them at the sign of trouble I wouldn't want samaritan #1 shooting #2 just because he was the first person seen with a gun. I also wouldn't want anyone in the line of fire in case I missed or a through shot. I feel with a questionable background shooting into the air will get the attention of the attacker, allow or encourage people to run, and possible allow a better shot. You are correct on the police training. [/QUOTE]
