You think a teacher with a handgun would have stopped the slaughter, eh?
Too funny. There would be another dead teacher.

A couple rounds in his general direction may have had him leaving the school. Better that the kids
got killed?


If the shots miss, Harry is probably right. I would not want to be
face to face with a AR and only have a pistol. OTOH if you just come
up behind this guy and put one in the back of his head, you win that
fight. To that end, someone with tactical skills should identify the
best places to wait and have your armed people know where the best one
is based on where the shots are coming from.
Maybe we can scour the 7-11s and find some old Vietcong guys. They
were pretty good at ambushing guys with ARs ;-)



Question:

If you come face to face with a guy with an AR-15 intent on killing you
or anyone around you, would you rather be armed or disarmed?

I'd take armed. If I miss I might be dead.
If I am not armed, I am certainly dead.


The point is you never want to be face to face. You hear him coming,
take cover and blind side him, armed or not. I would have no problem
shooting someone like this without ever saying a word or giving him
any quarter.
