In my hometown, nonetheless.  Happened this past Sunday.

The civilian fatality confronted them face to face. I would have pretended to exit the store and shot them in the back. Poor strategic planning for a conceal carry.

The NRA insists that more people with guns will create a safer society.  This is a clear example of a success in that regard for the man who confronted these two psychos.

I'm willing to bet if everyone in that store had a gun no one would run in and try to start shooting, the problem here is that out of all the people in that store, only one had a weapon.

Do you have any evidence to support your outlandish claim?

Of course.  Literally no other problem could arise from everyone in a confined area carrying weapons.

Just one out of about a dozen recent public shootings.

Alternatively, one person would be crazy enough to start shooting (n.b. we're talking about crazy people here, common sense needn't apply), and then a whole bunch of people would panic and start shooting too and it'd become WWI2 (World War I: 2: The Sequel) very soon.

It really depends on their training.  The average person will likely panic and run, totally forgetting about their gun.
A few would be brave enough to pull it out and open up but might mis-interprete a good guy with a gun with a bad guy with a gun.
If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

Eh, it is just a high-crime ghetto area on the East side of town.  Same as any other slum in any big city.

Well, technically the revolution started in Winchester since that area isn't incorporated Las Vegas.  But yes, it is quite lawless; Wild West style.  I have avoided death no less than 500 times in my 25+ years of living here.

Let's see:
Gunman is mentally ill- check
More guns would solve gun crime - check
A Good Guy With A Gun(tm) could have stopped him - check

I should really make a bingo card to make the aftermath of these sort of shootings marginally less depressing.

I didn't make a claim, I made a bet.

Of course.  Literally no other problem could arise from everyone in a confined area carrying weapons.

Someone should tell all the gun stores.

Yeah, gun stores never get robbed because everyone knows that the owners and patrons are packing heat!

It was a gun show, get your facts straight.

Oh and all that other stuff I agree with.

Tanner looked at his friend Wilcox. He knew Wilcox had a concealed carry permit and sometimes had a gun on him.

Oh yeah this shit bout to get real. The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun! Lets get it awn!!!!

It was hours before Tanner was told that his friend was killed.

:( Bad luck dude. I expect a full withdrawal from the NRA.
