Regardless of the poor chance that some generic, hypothetical concealed carrier (or anyone) may have against multiple rifle-armed attackers, I very strongly believe that the only correct personal policy is "Who dares, wins." I don't believe for a second that it's a foregone conclusion.

Had the TTAG sim shown the terrorists dying, thered be no headline.
As to the situation, frankly, as a hostage you're already dead the moment the terrorists walk in.The question then becomes how do you plan to meet the boatman-alone, or with one or more of the bad guys as company?Heck, you might even take them down and walk out alive.

I'll go with the Tam opinion.
Also, in Texas, shouldn't the sim have been 3-4 CCWers (with BBQ rigs) against the riflemen?
Glenn,
TTAG- as in the website.
Nick Leghorn is one of their regular contributors and purports to reside in our fair city. He is also a one-man case study in Dunning-Kreuger and firearms.
For myself, I would rather die well then die cowering in a cubicle.
Nah. Lots of people have a license but nobody really carries down here. If they do, it's "in the car."Also, in Texas, shouldn't the sim have been 3-4 CCWers (with BBQ rigs) against the riflemen?
So CCW'ers do poorly against multiple attackers when they are outnumbered, outgunned, and have an initiative deficit? What other result should we reasonably expect?
Agreed. I saw a statistic a while back that stated only 10% of Texas CHL holders actually carry regularly. Of all my friends who I know have their CHL, about 50% can be expected to have a gun on them at any given time.
What's their rationale?
My friends are the same way. I think the bottom line is that carrying a gun everywhere requires a fairly significant lifestyle alteration - different clothes, habits, places that are off-limits, etc. - that most folks aren't willing to make. Which is a reasonable decision for them.
