You guys need need serious reality check.

The idea behind CCW is for protection of myself and family - so we can get to safety. It isnt meant for a hero move were we save the day. Most times saving the day doesnt happen and the hero ends up dead.

The way a CCW would of worked is if the guy was walking the isles like he says and a CCW holder was laying on the floor and had a good close shot.

Anyone can do this sort of crime - even if all guns were banned right now it would take many many years before criminals or crazy people couldnt get them.

I personally would of had my weapon in my pocket with the ability to pull it had the shooter come in front of me or my family running out.

Even with a bullet proof jacket 4-5 shots in the chest would stop him for a while.

Remember CCW can also get you killed in this sort of enviroment. Police or citizens seeing you holding a pistol while this is going on makes them think you are the gunman.
