Hello all.
I probably missed this and it was posted in 2010 but I went through 11 pages of search and didn't see it. Someone will show me up and point out a thread I'm sure.
Anyway, check out this story from ABC News "proving" that even with some training regular citizens can't effectively use a hand gun to stop an active shooter scenario.

Now I am sure it would be very difficult to do stop someone in this scenario, but this was rigged. As you can see, the shooter immediately singles out the subject of the experiment and peppers them, and them only, while 30 other people escape out the door behind them. A trained shooter targets someone and that is "proof?"
What a load of crap that is. I agree training and practice with draw, moving, aiming, etc... is all extremely important. But I think you would be better off with a gun than not.
And btw, what kind of an idiot tells the girl next to him in a college class that he "has a gun." She seems REAL impressed. lol
