In an unrelated incident, a citizen carrying a concealed weapon failed to prevent the shooting of a clerk during an armed robbery. http://www.masslive.com/news/worces...ey_farms_robbery_clerk_shot_in_face.html

If this had happened in NYC or Chicago or Connecticut, it would have been difficult for an average citizen to be carrying a weapon in public. Small adjustment, Slipped.

Woulda worked just as good, too! 
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

Woulda worked just as good, too! Toy guns work well against rubber knives. When I was a USAF security policeman, from time to time people would ask me if my gun was loaded. The question always surprised me. Is the gun on my hip loaded? "Well, yeah. Otherwise why would we be required to carry them?" Sooner or later someone is going to call your bluff as with the Marine barracks in Beirut. The State Department had the DoD order Marine security not to have magazine loaded in their weapons. Unthinkable, to this day. In essence they were using what was tantamount to toy guns.

Thank you for wasting bandwidth. Wrong link. Shoulda been worcesterma.gov/police was reading a story related to yours and it mentioned first responders with alcoholism issues, which lead to a random thought about sauced folks in worcester which in turn caused me to look up the recipe for worcestershire sauce and I grabbed the link from the wrong window.
