I posted this in another thread about a guy who walked into a JC Penney's store with an AR-15 strapped to his back.Golfboy, on 18 Jan 2013 - 22:48, said:Is it terrible living in such abject fear of all your fellow citizens?Just a silly question.....Can you tell just by looking at him that this fellow citizen is not going to start shooting people?As a white male, he fits the profile of people who have committed mass shootings in schools, movie theaters and shopping malls.What if everyone carried that type of weapon?Could you tell which ones had bad intentions, and which didn't just by looking at them?Seems to me that would just make it easier for a shooter to bring his gun into the place he intends to use it, if everyone else was carrying guns too.I never got an answer, so I'll pose the question here.If everyone was walking around with an AR-15 over their shoulder, which many people say they have the right to do, how do we tell the good guys from the bad guys?
