    NO

    do not carry a gun until you damn well know what to do with it

    I know how to handle a firearm, god damn it.

    Then you know that your plan is fucking retarded.

    Personal defense is not fucking retarded.

    The police chief said in his report to the media that 20 were confirmed dead, and then as soon as they cut to the local news team they're saying 22.

    It's like, the guy just gave is report news people what are you doing.

    Also everyone I know that goes down there is fine.

    Wear bulletproof vest if you are afraid of guns you fucking idiot. Dont carry a gun. What ya gonna do, shoot the bullets out of midair with your own bullets. Best case scenario you get shot in the fucking head but manage to take down the other guy with you. So instead of one dead idiot you have 2.

    one of my teachers in high school lived through a school shooting when he was a teenager. apparently he was in the locker room with the shooter before he went out and killed some people.

    also this was long before computers or even pong

    What the hell guys? Knowing when to use a concealed firearm and 'packin' heat cause some fuckers are crazy' are in no manner the same thing. As long as you can legally buy a handgun or rifle easily in the US, you should educate yourself on proper handling. Not carrying a gun when someone starts shooting up a public area only gives you the option of hiding and hoping you won't get a hole made in your face.

    i'm watching live coverage on the BBC website and they just said maybe the person started killing people, in the confusion hid somewhere, emerged sometime later and started again

    This is a good point. Carrying a gun 'because other people do' is neither responsible nor educated.
