No. I'm not sure how you got that from what I said.
This is your post #113
Armed cops, yes. Armed citizens making me feel safer? Hell no. They could be insane. They could be evil. They could be there to erupt in a mass shooting or a robbery. They could be prone to panic and randomly shoot unintended targets. They could be bad shots and accidentally shoot me or my family when trying to shoot a perceived threat.
It's baffling to me that civilians would ever feel comforted at the thought of non-LE civilians carrying guns in a public place, knowing zero about their temperament, history, mental health, criminal history, motives for being armed and/or training.
Absolutely baffling.
The fireman was an armed citizen.... a civilian. A non LE citizen. He's no longer a fireman. We don't know about his temperament, his history, his mental health, or his motives for being armed. we don't kn0w his training. He could be evil. He could be prone to panic. He could be a bad shot and could have accidentally shot you or your family.
He looked like any other citizen.
I got the thought that you would be against what this fireman did because he could be any number of things that you posted... reasons why you'd feel uncomfortable if he did what he did if you were there.
