re: #151 Mattand

Maybe. I just never hear of the stories where someone having a concealed weapon saved the day.

The closest I can remember is that one of the witness to the Gabby Gifford shooting was packing. IIRC, he sort of admitted he came close to shooting Gifford’s assistant.

IIRC, the guy he almost shot was one of those who’d managed to wrestle Loughner to the ground after he’d fumbled his reload. The guy who nearly shot him saw the gun and initially concluded he was the shooter, but hesitated long enough to realize his mistake.
