in busy store missing robbers as often as hitting them. Now is that the kind of crap gun carriers think is safe? Or do I have to produce a study that shows that when some cowboy opens fire, misses in a crowded store and shoots through the door toward street, that some innocent people are in danger?
[bFact are: robbers didn't shoot anyone, probably couldn't have with old gun, cowboy opened fire, barely hit robbers, missed a number of times, and while no innocents were hit (that we know of) cowboy's action put innocent people at more risk than the bumbling robbers.
I know that's not how you guys want the story told -- but them is facts, read for yourself.
Another fact is that you guys get all excited when a gun toter shoots someone, that you don't question whether the outcome could have been worse because of the presence of a gun toter.
Or, more likely -- and this is an opinion -- you guys don't care. If the cowboy had hit an innocent, you would have just said that one of the lessons their instructor taught (like an instructor knows what the hell they are talking about) was to be sure of your target. Or you'd say two "gang bangers" are off the street.
