Another interesting question . . .
Should those people with CWPs be permitted to drink alcoholic beverages while carrying weapons?
Suppose somebody, with a CWP and carrying a weapon, goes out drinking and gets drunk. At what point does concern for mental stability play a major role?
Seeya round town, Moscow.

>> Yes, you'd have to be damn sure about your line of fire. Firing in the middle of a frenzied crowd running panicked for the exits would surely be asking for trouble. However, it's my understanding that for a while during the shooting the shooter had complete control of the situation. Anyone trying to leave was shot. Many people were playing dead in the hopes they would be passed over. Firing on the shooter, even if he's in body armor, might distract him enough that some people might have made it to the exits. Body armor doesn't make you invincible, depending on the armor and the caliber of the weapon used you might still have made an impact, since he'd still be hit by the blunt force of the bullet. In this situation, though, you would probably also have been shot dead shortly after because he was so well prepared (vest, leggings, throat protector, groin protector, and a helmet with a visor). Who knows? Telling a loved one "when I start shooting, RUN for the exit and don't stop" might have worked.

>> Most other shootings like this we've heard about haven't involved such a heavily armored assailant. In fact, quite a few of them have taken place in areas where gun use is often restricted, such as in schools or on university campuses. Harris and Kliebold wore T-shirts and cargo pants at Columbine. A student who had happened to have smuggled a gun into the school might have been able to have had a real impact on that event.

Couple that up with the increasing paranoia, as a result of the recent instances in Aurora (Colorado) and Milwaukee (Wisconsin), and I feel I have a right to be curious.
