" Also consider that if just one person with a concealed carry permit would have been present the whole awful thing may never have happened."

I have a CWP
I walk down the street and I am accosted unexpectedly by a gunman I am at a disadvantage - he has "the drop" on me and I cannot reach for my weapon.
This young man walked in and started firing - apparently without saying a word.
The wild west is gone
The assault weapons ban has my complete and total support
