Yet your conclusion, spoken as if it is a universal truth, is wrong in many instances. There have been numerous events of a concealed weapon holder killing an individual intent on a mass murder event that's just getting started. They generally get zero media play because they don't fit the narrative of gun -> bad. Regardless, telling people they can't choose the means with which they can reasonably defend themselves is authoritarian and evil. Nobody can guarantee safety, thus, nobody can rightly deny the right to defend oneself how best it seems to them to do so. Some dangerous circumstances are unfortunately common which do not wait for the police, let alone courts.

  Off the top of my head, there was a shooting in a mall food court stopped by a concealed carrier in Indiana a month or two back, and another in a Texas church maybe 2 years ago.

Numerous! Wow. More than one??? That's nifty. Maybe they should be cops. Anyway... to the topic at hand. How do you feel about violence toward ladies? It'd be nice for one conversation about self defense and violence against women to not be detailed by stupid arguments about concealed carry or open carry or men get ouchies too. Can we please talk about how this shouldn't be reality? How women should feel afraid? How one in four women should be the victim of sexual assault by the time they reach adulthood? Because that's what's happening and why these articles get written and what we should be discussing. Team goal: call out bad behavior by men and boys, in an effort to denormalize the behaviors that lead to violence against women. Cool?
