Interesting Study about Shootings (Police stoppage vs Joe Blow)

[Merrixs]

I think that the point of the article was that citizens intervening in the situation reduced the death toll.
As a citizen, I choose to use the most effective force equalizing tool I can, my sidearm. I don't want to take a knife (or worse yet, just my fists) into a gun fight, so I choose to be equal.

One thing i did notice is out of the 29 shootings, 17 took place in an educational facility where just so happens that all guns are banned. Don't you find this an interesting concept?

Also that one of those was stopped by the vice principal with a 45 colt.

This is clear evidence of the effects of police response within minutes, when seconds matter. Relying on the police to achieve similar results is both unrealistic and unaffordable.

That IIRC, was illegally stored in his vehicle and they looked the other way on afterwards.
