A "myth" sounds rather strong when the data's not in yet. How
many shootings like this have there been where one or more of the
victims had a weapon on them? How did they turn out? <br>
<br>
It seems like common sense to me that having a weapon on you for
personal protection might actually (at least in some situations)
be a blessing.<br>

<div>Has anyone ever stopped a shooting like that with a handgun?
No. It's fine with me if handguns make you feel safer. But they
don't make things safer. Myths like that are not helpful. And
yes until it actually happens, yours is a myth.<br>

would have went down if a couple of people in the theater
had been carrying concealed weapons. On the one hand, he
had on kevlar armor. On the other hand, he might have lost
control of the situation if a couple of people had been
returning fire at him.<br>

I haven't read up on the Milwaukee shooting.<br>
