<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br>An
interesting thing to think about, in my opinion. Apparently, that opinion
is not shared on this list.<br><br>Paul<br><br><br>On 08/11/2012 08:13 AM, Art
