[Vision2020] [more] Look See What Tri-State is Promoting . . .

[Paul Rumelhart]

A "myth" sounds rather strong when the data's not in yet.  How many 
shootings like this have there been where one or more of the victims had 
a weapon on them?  How did they turn out?

It seems like common sense to me that having a weapon on you for 
personal protection might actually (at least in some situations) be a 
blessing.
