If I were to attempt to stop an active shooter, I would rather be armed. I don't have the training that many here have, but I would rather have a firearm than a set of keys, some pepper spray or some "conflict negotiation skills"

BTW, the most unsafe I have ever felt was in Perth earlier this year.
Thanks for the clarification Jim! Of course you would rather be armed to stop an active shooter, me too!! I was just pointing out that a bunch of people with no training have done so. I'm interested to know what happened in Perth, feel free to PM me.
