DavidL: No Time To Act At NIU Even If Armed

re: Online Poll: Guns on college campuses

Barring access to the police reports, I submit despite having a gun on your person, even granting exemplary skills using your weapon, you still only prevented a few deaths and injuries. You could not stop Kazmierczak because there was no time to react to his presence. Perhaps even a certified police officer with a sidearm could have done better because they train for this type of incident, but still, even in that case, someone would have been injured or died. There was no time to react/David Laird. More here
