The title was chosen because so many gun owners these days fantasize about being the hero in a terrorist attack a la San Bernardino.
In reality, there's a greater probability of being struck by lightning, than of being in the middle of a terrorist shooting.
Depends! In California, Chicago, New York, maybe so because there are so few CCW holders in comparison to population. In Arizona, there were several at the Gabby Giffords shooting, and they were responsible partly for ending it, possibly before others were shot. They were situationally aware enough to act without drawing their own weapon, which is almost always much less complicated!
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
