Although the guy was stopped before he could carry out a mass shooting and concealed carry wasn't involved, the Sheriff said something that people who are able to carry concealed but don't need to consider. I know of too many people who can legally carry concealed and say things like, "I only carry if I think I need to." Not one of those people has ever given me the winning lotto numbers or the name of the winning horse at Churchill Downs. Plus, if I thought I would "need" my firearm to go someplace I'd be leery of going there in the first place.
It's great if LE were able to always stop mass shootings before they start, but the reality is that is the exception not the rule.“This case reminds us that we need to always be vigilant,” Sheriff Larry Leitha said Sunday in a statement. “Many think, ‘that can’t happen here,’ and it was well on the way to happening.
