The Problem with Everyone Has a Gun is the Police Accidentally Shoot the Good Guys with Guns...

And, in this case, hide that fact as long as possible but that isn't the point of this post... How do the police know who to shoot when everyone is shooting?

That's been one of my complaints about the idea of arming teachers. How do the police responding to a school shooting know which person to take down. And likewise, how do the teachers know who the bad guy with the gun is. They're just as likely going to shoot each other in an adrenaline and fear induced haze than rescue anyone. Unless you've had proper live fire training, most people aren't going to respond well when put into live fire situations.

This type of thing is what the guns fanatics are willing to accept in order not to be inconvenienced by any laws that might prevent things like this happening.

People should be required to wear white or black hats.

People should be required to wear white or black hats.

Certainly better than red hats.

IMO to use a gun defensively in an effective manner you really need pressure testing. Target practice is not pressure testing. I'm skeptical that the average gun owner maintains their skills in that manner.
