If somebody pulled a gun on you (you do not yet know the reason why), Do you grab for your gun right away and hope that you can:

1. unholster it,
2. cock it and
3. shoot it

before they have time to pull the trigger?
You left out the scenario that directly relates to this story: a maniac shooting at a crowd. He isn't necessarily aware of every person within shooting range, and anyone with a gun can potentially stop him faster than someone without.

Yeah. You're right Stibe. Guns are useless and everyone that owns one is Jared Loughner. Might as well just lay down and die if a crazy person starts popping with his first 33 rounds before reloading another 32. You got me dude.

So one guy starts shooting, now you have say 4 more people shooting at him, all in a crowd. Police hear nothing but gunshots and see people with weapons. What do you think is going to happen?

they engage in a socially open and nuanced conversation about the pros and cons of what is currently taking place

So, why aren't any of these people you brag about how they carry around a gun in the case of a Jared Loughner and can drop 3 moving targets in 0.001 seconds ever carrying a gun when the actual Jared Loughner is mowing down civilian after screaming civilian?
