John Lott points out in More Guns, Less Crime that multiple victim public shootings tend to take place where victims are most likely to be unarmed. Schools and churches are two popular venues for human target practice. Gun ranges, despite the widespread availability of firearms, somehow manage to avoid multiple victim public shootings. I use the term "despite" sarcastically; it is, of course, the widespread availability of firearms that makes a gun range such an unlikely scene for a shooting spree. Pundits rush to explain that the slaughter that occurred in Bombay could easily be replicated in New York City, Los Angeles, or Chicago. Maybe so, but this says more about the local ordinances of these cities than it does about security in the United States generally. How would armed gunmen fare in an assault on Tulsa, Dallas, or Boise? Methinks they would go out of business within a few minutes.

Another testimonial to demonstrate why Plaxico was justified in carrying a piece. He understands. ;-|~

Dan, you sir are correct in that assumption.

Any group of Islamic barbarians who decide to set up their terror business in one of those cities,as well as many others, would indeed,have a very short shelf life. They would have no problem finding a willing participant(s) to gladly grant them their wish of becoming a martyr.
