[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3173390, member: 13624"] Point of interest: [URL]https://www.concealedcarry.com/news/armed-citizens-are-successful-95-of-the-time-at-active-shooter-events-fbi/?fbclid=IwAR3Z07JJX1WnkNPyfh1NOAmBm7Glvp3HdvQ0tcOfTpq8uzSux0iwv9dLN-4[/URL] "As you can see below, however, at the 33 incidents at which Armed Citizens were present, there were zero situations at which the Armed Citizen injured or killed an innocent person. It never happened." (FBI data, by the way.) I'd never dissuade [I]anybody[/I] from getting training, but the data suggest that "bad shoots" by armed private citizens just aren't a significant problem. I've seen data to support that for more than twenty years (the one I recall from the late nineties looked at concealed carry across the board, not just "active shooter" events, and found the errant shoot rate for private citizens was about 1/4 that of cops).
