This comment makes it sound like there is some kind of epidemic of law abiding gun owners walking around playing cop shooting children.

Every report/set of statistics that I have ever seen; indicates that law abiding gun owners that carry concealed with a permit have one of the lowest rates of criminal activity in the nation.

I also do not see how one can state that in this case, having other options available would have resulted in a different outcome. Maybe? Maybe not? I was not there.

I am still holding out for a full investigation to be revealed publicly rather than the selected sound bites from the media.
