That's true.Except that that rarely ever actually happens. Even in states that allow concealed carry, there often isnāt anybody carrying at the time or if there are, they donāt use it. Plus a lot, maybe most, mass shootings happen in gun free zones so what are you supposed to do then? Or what if they disarm you? Iād rather take a self defense class and learn that way instead of relying on a gun. Especially considering it could get jammed or they could disarm you or be faster on the draw or any number of things that could go wrong. Also itās serial btw.
Learning self defense is very important but that's going to be tricky when someone has a gun. You'd have to disarm them, and you'd likely get shot before that happens.
If the gun gets jammed or you run out of ammunition you can still use the gun and whack someone with it.
Shootings may never happen in your area, but its always better to be prepared.
As for the shootings that happen in gun free zones, theres not much you can do unless you carry anyways. That's why its important to protect our rights. Self defense is one of many reasons.
If someone starting shooting innocent people wherever I would shoot them without hesitation. I may get shot from them in the process but I would do whatever it takes to take them out first. I would rather get shot or be disarmed in the process than stand by or run.
In areas where people keep guns for their own personal protection shootings are less common. They got shot.
End of story.
