Re: LIVE: 2 dead, 2 wounded in shooting at Greenwood Park Mall; shooter is dead
Yeah. I figured out one time, after the shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Florida years ago, that if the demographic within the club mirrored the concealed carry rates of the rest of Floridians at large, there would have been up to 15 people within the club, beside the shooter, that were armed. But, IIRC, you can't carry in a business that serves alcohol in FLA.

Guy should have some job offers based on that proficiency.
I'd be extra pissed, knowing I had a gun but zero opportunity to use it. Doesnt sound like it would've done much good here if he just walked into the shooter by dumb luck, but does speak to situational awareness too.

Well, possibly.
Situational awareness is a good thing to practice, no matter where you are. However, the mere act of seeing and recognizing a threat, then taking decisive action is still a 5+ second set of actions. If someone walks directly out of the restroom, raises their rifle and shoots, the likelihood that a normal person does more than think, "Oh, shit!" is extremely low, even if they were kind of expecting it. It's just one of those Final Destination kinda moments and you have no control over it. Much like having a meteorite punch through your roof and kill you in your sleep. The probability is so low that it will happen (despite what the media says) that there is really no way to predict it to prepare for it.Sed ego sum homo indomitus
