BTW, when the victim pulls his gun, he doesn't point it and use it to bargain. He fires immediately without hesitation. You don't pull a gun and point it at someone who is threatening your life. You pull your gun and shoot to kill. The gun gives both the criminal and victim the same power (equal).

Just a question... Why Tyrone?
Black people make all the crime. You ever seen a white guy named Tyrone?

The main problem with that is the criminal already has his gun pointed at you. If you reach for your gun, he's going to shoot you first.

Yep that's the problem and you have to make a judgment call.
- What is behind the threat? What are your shots going to hit?
- Is he focusing his attention on you 100% or is he looking around for police, witnesses, etc.?
- Is his gun pointing right at you, or just in your general direction?
- How fast is your draw?
- How accurate is your shot placement?
- Can you move in a direction that his shot may miss you?
- Can you hit his arm or gun with one hand, while drawing with your other, and avoid getting hit?
- Is his gun real, is it loaded, is it cocked, is the safety on? This is where knowing about various firearms can be an advantage.

Its a big gamble, may or may not be worth it. Unarmed victims get shot and killed all the time. Carrying a gun gives you the option to shoot, you don't have to take that option, but at least you have it.

But the problem with that is if you reach for your gun, he will try and shoot you. He might not kill, hit, or even fire, but he will try to kill you if you pull out your gun. If you don't pull out a gun, he'll just take your shit and be on his way. If you rob someone, you're probably not going to get caught, while if you kill someone, there is a good chance you will.

You may be in your car and he doesn't know you are armed.
You may be walking and have a pocket pistol.
He is most likely trying to rob you. You have to give him the item (wallet, money, etc.) he wants, maybe you come out with a gun instead.

It would be great if that was a fact, but it's not. Many victims, who cooperated 100%, were shot and or killed. There are plenty of videos online to show this and those are just the ones caught on tape and uploaded.

Real homicide investigations are not like TV. A lot of people get away with murder, especially if the killer doesn't know the victim.

Actually, to legally carry concealed, most states require some sort of training.  Alaska and Vermont, the two states which do not even require a permit to carry concealed, don't have very high violent crime rates (which may be a factor in why legislation to require a permit has never passed).

Why... ?
Cause if a co-student decided to shoot up the school, there would be a legit chance of stopping him. A student like the one here (who had no appearent intentions of hurting anyone - which leaves the carrying of that pistol shearly self-defense)

Obviously though, he had it loaded and cocked with the safety off which is terrible practice.
And in his hand

Wow, that isn't the most racist, paranoid thing I've heard all day.  Go back to the safety of your white padded room.
How is that racist? Sounds like someone is making and assumption..

Lol. Sux2b gun banned Europe.

Its called a CWP, Concealed Weapons Permit, or at least here in SC. Both my parents have em.

First of all, that school doesn't admit the brightest rednecks. Keep in mind that school's in Rock Hill, aka redneckville.
