    Thanks for the post. It's too bad the debate over gun control only focuses on the tragic stories of people who commit horrific acts with a gun and not those law-abiding citizens who use a gun in defence of themselves and others and refuse to sit back and let evil happen.

    The only fear apparent to me in those videos was that of the perps once they realized that their intended victims refused to be victims.

    Intent to harm a thug, who's hoping he's found a flock of sheep, usually resets their OODA loop.

    You think in any shooting everyone is all calm thinking they are playing Cowboys and Indians?? LOL!! That's kind of funny.

    No, you are correct. Everyone was freaking out, except for one clear-headed, prepared individual who took appropriate action. And thankfully, for the sake of all of those others, he was there.

    Hey Gents - I am deleting my posts as I just don't feel this is something I really want to pursue.

    Thanks for understanding... .

    This incident doesn't seem to be garnering any media attention.

    I WONDER WHY?
    Nick Meli, who had a concealed weapon, thought about shooting Oregon mall killer

    Possibly BECAUSE it doesn't fit the anti's agenda? SURELY NOT!!
