On Being John McClane

[stanc]

To the topic of the 2A and this incident, as well as the one in France.

Notice the target selection. Places where guns are not allowed, or what I call "Gun Spree Zones". Soft targets with high population density are perfect for savage vermin like this, who are looking to create the maximum body count.

So there is something you can do just by being armed and trained. Here in Utah, teachers and other employees carry concealed on school campus. Many instructors provide free training for them.

I'm not sure if this is the best sub-forum for a question I have, but since I don't know where better to post it, here goes.

If you should find yourself in the midst of a terrorist shooting incident a la Paris or San Bernardino, and (as in the movie, Die Hard) you're the only good guy with a gun, you would have little trouble knowing who are the bad guys: They'd be anyone else with a weapon.

However, what if it were to happen in a place where there are numerous private citizens who are carrying.

How will you (and all the other CCWs) be certain of which person with a gun you should shoot?

What measures (if any) can be taken to prevent the wrong people from being shot by well-meaning, good samaritans?
