As I lay in bed deep in thought about the incident I wondered what the outcome would have looked like if someone with a legal concealed weapon permit were present and had reacted in time to save some lives.
Then my thoughts were, “What if the first responders arrive and mistake him for one of the shooters and blow him away too?”
Then I think, “What if he has a special issue badge that he can hold up and thusly make it known to the first responders that he is one of the good guys.
But then I think to myself, “What if a shooter gets a permit to conceal carry and the special badge prior to their act of malfeasance?”
This stuff is not going to go away no matter what we do.
People will have to become more aware of their surroundings and those who are around them in public settings.
Perhaps even becoming fearful of public gathers such as being at church.
My wife and I were at a movie theater when a big Muslim family came in.
I watched the crowd to see if there would be a reaction. None other than people looking in their direction longer than usual.
No one got up and left.
After this last mass shooting perhaps people might react to the Muslim families presence and leave, even though they know the reality that not all Muslims are radical.
This is becoming a very big problem for our Muslim families in our midst.
I can only imagine how painful it must be for them when these kind of things happen.
We are living in perilous times indeed.
We will start thinking proactively,” in what would I do if? scenarios.”
Always planning what to do if a shooter were to suddenly appear at any given moment.
Being aware of the nearest cover etc.
Always alert and jumpy.
Who wants to live like that?
Come quickly Lord Jesus come quickly.
Thank God that the bulk of humanity is sane and law abiding in America.
Or are they...
