Hmm. You have alot more faith in police and the general public than I do. Movie theater or not, you can be dead or dying in a lot less time than it takes for Mr. Fat Rent-a-cop takes to get there. But like i said earlier, "protection" is just one little part of the equation of carrying.

But then again the average gun carrier isn't afraid we are going to get mugged, stabbed or shot at. If that was the case, the last thing we would do is strap a tiny pistol on our hip and act like the problem just disappeared, like you seem to be suggesting.

I have seen how helpful the general public is, no way are they my safety plan. Your welcome to count on the public and police to help you, no thanks. They are a decent secondary plan, but a shatty primary.
