re: #469 Political Atheist

If only we had a good study on the matter. But we don’t, so we don’t really know how that plays out. All the existing studies have been done by advocates-From pro gun CATO to anti gun HCI. More loyal to the cause than the facts. But it’s really easy to find instances of car jacking stopped by a gun. I found a bunch where off duty cops intervened successfully. An off duty cop is pragmatically the same as a reasonably well trained CCW civilian.

Question is, why did this guy shoot unarmed people?

Wonder what the chances are of having an alert, well-trained of-duty cop sitting in traffic with you, ready to save your life in a split second. Not trying to be flippant. There are just too many situations where having CCW etc. would not save you. :(
