Here's 1 story
You go to work one morning , next thing you know someone's grabbing you off the falling floor. When you come out of the initial shock, you have no idea how you ended up in midtown manhatten. Vaguely have an idea you were on the 4th floor of the twin towers, what you thought were minutes ago. That's what my cousin told me he remembers about 9/11.
Then
You walk in to a walmart and some guy's brain pan isn't firing on all cylinders. Shots are going off around you. You could have done something, but ..............your gun is in the car. or at home.
OR... Watching the eagerly awaited, The Dark Knight when some clown starts with the front rows of the theatre . Walking up the aisle indiscriminately killing people.
No one there "thought" anything would happen.
It's the same story, time after time, after time. When interviewed they all say the same thing.
No One Ever Thought Something Like this could Happen here. . and... It's such a peaceful neighborhood, who would have ever thought this could happen.
If possible, while staying legal in what ever jurisdiction you're in. There's no reason what so ever to be unarmed.
