[QUOTE="MCVetSteve, post: 2611166, member: 33591"] Ok very well, then my response is that they're not "seconds away." In fact they're 9 minutes away. As we found out this past January when everyone thought we had an active shooter scenario that turned out to be a false alarm. But, obviously, the police not knowing that going in were reacting as they were trained to react to a real scenario. Not sure if you've ever been shot at, but I can say with a bit of authority that 9 minutes in any such scenario is a f*cking eternity. For someone who's nervous, it takes about 10 seconds to burn through a 30 round magazine in an AR. So for anyone who's practiced reloading even a small bit, that's at least 4 magazines a minute. From a semi automatic rifle, with sustained rapid semi automatic fire. Let's just do some math: 4x30= 120 rounds per minute. Even conservatively saying he uses 2 rounds per person that's 60 victims per minute x 9 minutes is a lot of dead and injured people. Whereas a licensed concealed carrier could turn the response time for police being 9 minutes, into the response time for a responsibly armed citizen down to anything less than 9 minutes. [/QUOTE]
