Perhaps the most widely publicized
shooting involving a concealed carry licensee
in the last few years clearly prevented
the murder of at least dozens of people. The
criminal was a mentally ill young man who
had already killed four people in the previous
12 hours. On December 10, 2007, Jeanne
Assam used a gun in the lobby of New Life
Church, in Colorado Springs. Matthew Murray
was carrying “two handguns, an assault
rifle and over 1,000 rounds of ammunition.”
He had already killed two people in the parking
lot and two others the previous night. He
entered the lobby firing his rifle—but Assam,
a former police officer, shot him, ending the
killing spree.

The criminals of yesteryear commonly
selected a target, evaluated the risk potential,
and then faced the unknown hazards
of executing a crime. Rather than go to all
that effort, and attack a victim in their own
home or shop, or in “neutral territory” on
the street, criminals are now using regional
Internet sales websites like Craigslist, or
phoning bogus pizza orders, to lure victims
to them. One such case occurred in Galion,
Ohio, where a man agreed to meet a prospective
seller of construction equipment.
Fortunately, the buyer was a concealed carry
licensee. He took two handguns with him to
the meeting place in a remote quarry. The
“sale” turned out to be an ambush, and the
buyer was forced to empty both weapons to
repel the robbers

Spelling Nazi wuz hea.

Not sure your intent/implication here, but remember, one of the arguments the "antis" always present is that having a gun only increases the odds that you'll be injured and won't help you against violent criminals. And, further, that there is a dearth of credible studies that support "our" contention that having a gun increases our odds of surviving a violent attack. So, any study that validates our contention is something we should embrace and use.

Relax I was being very sarcastic. The Cato is as left as it can get so to hear this is great but also funny at the same.

Cato is left? This is news to me.

Ahh shit sorry about that comment. I don't know what I was thinking. I was thinking of something else.

Lol I was going to let you know that Cato is the one who brought you Heller v. District of Columbia.

I am relaxed...just didn't know the context of your statement....sarcasm isn't always so apparent. Thanks.
