Finally, I saw ColinthePilot start to put it together in a thread I read today.
You don't see ANYONE attempt a mass shooting at a gunshow. Why? Well, even if someone were to attempt, it wouldn't be likely to get to the "mass" part.
Now that we KNOW that there's a better than even chance of not getting home, you don't hear about hijackings any more - the hijackers know they won't succeed. (I even changed my travel habits - I used to like sitting in a window seat, but I now choose aisle in case there's a need for an "Able Bodied Assistant".)
Now that BGs know churches might have armed guards, how long do you think it will be before we hear about another church shooting? (HINT: Quite a while.)
Why is it different in any other area of society?
(Side-note: I just got my CCW in Colorado. About 25% of the people in the class were there as church security. Second side note: It's not un-Christ-like to be able to defend yourself. Peter walked with Jesus for 3 years, and yet, int he Garden of Gethsemane, he defended Jesus with a sword against the soldiers.)
WOW - got a lot off my chest with that one! ;-)
