SHE pulled out her gun and shot the man 4 times before he had a chance to kill anyone. So since this story makes the point that the best thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, the media is treating it like it never happened.

After the Aurora theater shooting, there were many posters who commented that IF moviegoers had pistols of their own, the crazy shooter would have been killed in a barrage of bullets fired at him. I do not know if Colorado has a lot of people carrying concealed weapons. I am figuring that Texas (especially San Antonio) has lots of people carrying concealed weapons even in a theater. It was an off duty police officer who shot the crazed shooter - and I believe most jurisdictions require off duty officers to carry a pistol - and it was NOT one of the moviegoers who shot the crazed shooter.
It was a well-trained police officer who shot and NOT a bunch of wannabee cowboys not used to shooting under stress and no telling where the cowboys' bullets would have ended up. It could have been massive collateral damage. |
From what I read there was a lot of shooting going on and very few of these shots hit anything.
Not sure of the facts though as the articles I looked at are all over the place as to what actually happened.
I am aware that in the Old West the gunfighters had huge reputations because they could remain calm and aim carefully while shooting at others shooting back in a careless manner. Most people though armed could not remain calm.
