Further proof that Louie Gohmert is wrong.

This is the story about a former CTC guard, with a legal, concealed gun on his person, and the wise thought process he went through, as the CTC shooter went on his rampage.  It is worth paying attention to, because this is exactly the sort of mindset you'd expect from an intelligent, composed person, when in a live situation.

And it also serves to disprove Louie Gohmert's assertion that, if only the Sandy Hook principal had had a locked away M-4 in her office, that she could have minimized the tragedy.



People like Louie Gohmert construct scenarios where, devoid of reality, having a gun always ensures greater safety.  It simply isn't true; you have to consider many variables when you have a weapon in your hand, prepared to confront a violent situation.

300 million guns and 240 million Americans, 18 and older, but we're not safer today than we were two decades ago, from firearms homicide.
