Denis, my point is if someone wants to do something no law is going to stop them.
Creating a law will only make other wise honest law abiding citizens defenseless and criminals. The carry laws that Rick and OJU speak of isn't going to stop someone like this from achieving their objective. From what OJU posted only one person showed up carrying and apparently after the shooting had stopped. So your statement to Rick is inaccurate as others weren't armed. That being said I don't know that others carrying would have made a difference and your scenario may very well have played out if someone carrying showed up to the party late.
That being said I do think that AZ having carry laws probably makes a lot of would be armed robbers think twice before entering a store because they don't know if a Rick Lee or an OJU is going to be in there and now the bad guy is in a gun fight. Robbers are opportunists. It is the element of surprise and superior fire power they want. They don't want an OJU looking into the mirror hanging from the ceiling and seeing him holding up the clerk and end up in a gun fight.
