For once, I actually agree with Rick Perry. There's no doubt that if more movie goers carried guns for protection, mass shooters may not have such an easy time of killing them.
I always think when these horrific mass shootings occur, 'what if just ONE person had been carrying a gun?'
Most likely: Everyone still dies.
It would seem to me that Texas seceding from the union was one of Perry's better ideas. I would have no problem building a new and better border fence a few hundred miles farther north. Then we could see what Texans really think about immigrants.
If they are not willing they should not be carrying. Guns are not playthings to 'scare' bad guys. They are weapons to take the bad guys out.
Yeah, I wonder how many people who carry are super good at the range, in a controlled environment with ear protection and a stationary paper target , but would be useless in an actual situation that required them to defend themselves against another armed gunman (or gunmen).

Depends on what "willing" means.
If I'm in a movie theater, I will always be with my wife and/or daughter. If I am armed in such a circumstance, my sole responsibility and intent will be to get them out alive. I will usher them in an "armed retreat" and use my gun to ensure their evacuation if necessary, but I'm not going to draw fire toward them. It is not my responsibility to "take the bad guys out."
The military has a heck of a time preventing "friendly fire" when under the "fog of war." And that's with people who have the means and training to communicate with one another.
Which are usually committed by kids mad at their peers for constantly teasing and taunting them and the school doing virtually nothing about it and the teen having access to their parent's legal firearms.Pretty sure don't cut it. Sorry. Think 'school shootings'.
Most Americans now live in the 21st century.The history and mindset of the American people is unique in world history. Most places in the world have populations who are used to jumping when a government authority whistles. In contrast to these whipped dogs, the American colonies had to take care of themselves while England sparred with other European governments. When the king finally got back to whistling, we told him where to shove it.
In colonial Virginia, a law required colonists to bring their guns to church to guard against Indian (Native American) attacks.
Some Virginians still carry guns in church.
I'm having trouble figuring out what you mean by...
"...and use my gun to ensure their evacuation if necessary..."
What did you mean by that?
For some it's easier to avoid reality.No, it was a person.
