Florida school board shooting

I just got around to watching the video. 

There are a lot of things to be written about the incident by people who know far more about defensive gun use than me.  The stupidity of the sneak purse attack, the strangeness of the stenographer gathering her purse and keys after being told to leave, and the apparent lack of urgency by many people are all worth discussing and learning from. 

I think the biggest takeaway is this: if you were in that audience, with that maniac threatening your life, would you want to have a gun, or not have a gun? 

I'd rather have a gun.
