I almost fell out of my chair laughing, first at the guy who threatened to turn the woman in for child abuse then at how she basically called a hit down on this bus. This crazy world we live in never stops amazing me.
From a CCW/SD standpoint that is really a no win situation. I do not know how thick your typical bus window is, I can assume that it is a bit thicker than a standard car window. That means you would probably best be packing something like a .357 or 10MM to engage someone accurately on the other side. Even if you were packing a 10MM or .357 I would be worried as hell about hitting anyone innocent inside the bus or outside on the street.

I think if I would have returned fire, if I had a shot to take out a couple of them, because they very easily could have killed a number of people on the bus, by pure luck, none on the bus were killed. First thing is I would never have been in PA, never have been on the bus. But if someone is shooting a me an others, I think if you have a gun and a permit, and have a chance to stop the attackers you have to take the shot IMO. Now if they were only threatening to shoot someone inside, I would sit it out if I could but once the shooting started I would have been returning fire if at all possible. I don't think a 38 Spl would penetrate the glass, and even my 44 Spl rounds might be deflected, same with a 45. Otherwise, the criminals can always choose a place to attack people where nobody can do anything about it. Suppose 20 people on the bus where hit, how would the permit holder feel, if he had not returned fire?
