But there's another part of the equation that's often overlooked in these conversations. The second you pull that gun, you have to be willing to possibly end another human's life...I don't know how many people have that in them. And if you pull it...and you suddenly realize you don't have it in you...you're going to find yourself in an imminently more dangerous situation than you already were in.
I wish to god there were more people out there keeping loaded weapons handy and were blowing away people who were committing heinous acts like this, because I do believe it would act as a damn good deterrent. But the sad truth is, for most people, there is no way to defend yourself from such an incident.
