Disaster in Roanoke - Proximity of trauma centers

[David Adler]

I knew this was coming. Perhaps consideration should be given to the possibility that if one of those injured/killed students had been legally carrying a handgun of their own they may have been able to stop the attacker. 

Self-defense is an individual right and responsibility; you cannot and should not count on the police to protect you in situations like the one today in VA.
