If this guy didn't have a weapon, we are not having this discussion. As for all the bravados down south that claim to pack weapons, for self defense. How come we never, ever hear stories about you guys saving the day, and actually stopping one of these lunatics?

The reason why you don't hear much about saving the day is because that is good news. The media (well down here) doesn't like to show good news. There was a bank robber that was stopped a couple of months ago in Florida with his CCW.
I do think that they could be a lot more selective who gets a weapon. But if this guys buddies didn't say anything with showing some serious mental problems is amazing. I love my best friends, but if one was acting like a complete idiot I'm sure as hell going to say something. Last thing I want to known as is "the best friend to that guy"
