Reply #14: Perhaps if a customer who had a concealed weapons permit and his weapon ...

had been inside that Subway, the result might have been different.

Perhaps if a police officer had been inside the restaurant, the results might have been different.

For that matter if several customers would have been inside the Subway, perhaps the shooter would have never pulled his weapon.

Of course, if one of the Subway employees had been legally carrying a handgun, he might have been able to stop the attack but that is probably against company policy.

Obviously all the armed police in the county did nothing to stop this incident. Therefore, do police actually make everyone safer?

I have a concealed weapons permit but I have no requirement to patrol the streets of my town and prevent crime. I am not a law enforcement officer nor am I a vigilante. I am just a citizen who has spent the money, time and effort to get a concealed weapons permit and I carry to protect myself from someone who intends to inflict serious injury or kill me, someone I love or another individual who is a victim of such an attack.
