Today's event was horrific, and I will say a prayer for the victims/families.
However, while I honestly believe that the likelyhood of another gun saving all those students was rather low, I also feel that "a" chance is better than "no" chance.
There are thousands of stories where the right person (not necessarily a cop) having a weapon has saved lives, yet these stories don't seem to be highlighted on the news. I know people whose lives/property were saved by the fact that they had a gun, and I myself have come *very* close to needing one. Close enough for me to realize that I'd rather have one nearby. Not everywhere I go mind you, but nearby when possible/practical.
This has been an interesting thread....
