Given that Arizona allows people to carry concealed weapons in public why did no one shoot Jared Lee Loughner?

They are saying that political candidates will start to carry arms. So that begs the question, if Gifford and the people around her were armed, would the shooting be avoided?

More likely there would be collateral damage and 15 dead instead of 6

There is a big difference between owning/carrying the weapon and pointing at another human being and pulling the trigger.

I doubt it. The guy ran at her while she wasnt looking, what advantage would a pistol in her handbag give her? To think that the correct response to something like this is to arm politicians is about the silliest thing I've heard in a while

A candidate shoot out would be cheaper than an election. Soon learn who is backed by the "military-industrial complex".

If it's on your hip, you're the only one who's going to get shot... In all seriousness, I agree. Which is why I'm glad we can't carry weapons as such where I live.

Oh... I've only seen one handgun in my life (apart from police officers). I was just thinking of every Hollywood action movie I've ever seen. Although I have seen Lightning Jack (IIRC that was a Western where a mute bloke shot himself in the foot trying to remove the revolver from its holster), so you must be right :laugh:

I'm glad for you - I wouldn't trust myself with a gun, let alone any of the drongoes that hang around the place.

Don't judge everyone by your own standards.
