The myth of the good guy with a gun

[NATEWA]

The authors solution to stopping these killers is..................Any ideas on how to slow the shooter down ...........Any ideas on how the military can relay information to civilians/LE........Thoughts on how the mental health system can help people......?

Crickets ��

We can play the what if game all day long. What if the shooter didn’t have a firearm but instead used a rented truck? What if church goers were carrying? What if .....

Opinion articles with an agenda do no good. People need to come together to figure out how to prevent, stop and/or slow down these killers.

Horse****
This "genderqueer" (WTF does that mean?)
Makes up statistics and clearly did no research of his(?) own.
Ever heard of John Lott? Gary Kleck?

The signature is interesting:

What does sexual orientation of the writer has to do with the article and why would that be included in the signature?

It announces the writer will be furiously virtue signalling and is inviting all his lefty pals to read his screed.

The good guy with a gun is no myth. When you look at the facts as pointed out every month in journals such as "Armed Citizen" in certified publications. Clearly Bad guys lose when confronted with good guys with a gun...

Unfortunately the 1st amendment allows lies and false information like this article to be printed with what is true. It is up to the reader to know reality from myth.

Jack....

That is a load of crap that as soon as you have a drink of alcohol you cannot use a firearm safely. Wonder how just our recent history of cowboy west even survived out here in the saloons.

Take a few minutes and read history over the centruries of just warfare and alchol. Of course getting blitzed is not helpful. Having 1 or two or even more beers for some folks will do nothing negative and can be positive for their accuracy.


I can guaran god dam tee you id rather have an arm on me in a bar with a lunatic then not. I am also not an alcoholic and dont get waisted.

Save your breath... no I do not endorse booze and gun play. I do realize true life that someone who has a glass of wine, or even two is not a sloppy unsafe shooter if called upon.

You mean if I have a few beers at home and home invaders kick down my front door I can still utilize a firearm to defend my family? After years ot reading CG I thought the appropriate response in such a situation was to assume a fetal position and call 911 because "guns and alcohol" don't mix and you lost your right to self defense after that 1st beer.
