Disarmed Victims Abound
Posted by Rob Longenecker on December 15th, 2007
Deranged do-badders with murder on their mind don’t attack where guns are sure to be found. Instead, they look for gun-free zones.
Makes sense to me.
I’m always aware that trouble could spring forth from the shadows, but I don’t go looking for it. I even have a sense that the odds are on my side. I’ve only had to pull my pistol once in 30 years to discourage an attack. Still, I don’t want to be deliberately vulnerable.
Recent shootings in malls and churches point out that would-be attackers do seek out victim-rich environments where history suggests there are unarmed folks unlikely to fight back.
I think this article underlines the major points well.
