You're a riot!

Version II is of course the adolescent fantasy that sustains the gun lobbyists, and which turns otherwise rational human beings into blithering idiots. I accept this sad state of affairs for what it is.

I'd love to hear from one of you gun-toting righteous citizens who have actually foiled a dastardly crime by being in the right place at the right time with your concealed cannon.

This must happen all the time according to the frequency with which this scenario is offered as an argument in support of the right to carry.

Let's hear some examples from the real world.
