Without hijacking the thread, can you tell us the true story? I had always thought, "Nobody saw it, nobody heard."
If "they" restrict (infringe) your right to carry then what makes them a "right to carry state".Are law abiding citizens allowed to carry on public transit? I know some states don't allow it.
But this just sickens me. Heck, a few months ago I read about a woman getting stabbed in a grocery parking lot, screaming for someone to help her. Everyone stood around, but one guy with a gun intervened. Then he took off, presumably because he didn't have a 'permit' to carry.

This is not a what if... The IF scenario has already happened...
This is a what would you do in this situation?
I can't speak for Utah law, but in most states including mine it's perfectly legal to use force to stop an assault on the person of someone other than yourself.
If you go back to to some of our "what would you do" threads you'll find that a lot of the members of this board probably wouldn't act.
And the purpose is to LEARN from each other...and perhaps PREVENT a similarly ridiculous situation from happening to us... or ours.
Democrats are anti-gun and speak of a better, more caring society where handguns are not needed or welcome. But it's in the states where the Democrats have the strongest grip of the situation where people turn their heads away when a fellow citizen is being assaulted. In reality, the most cold, uncaring and unsafe place one can imagine is a place which the Democrats control. I can not see myself live in in NYC, for example. The Democrats sow the seed of inhumanity in everything they do. Their own voters suffers the most, ironically. Serves them right. Just die off.
I didn't think anyone on this thread would take that remark "literally".
When all else fails... read "between the lines"...
The whole thread is about people who contribute nothing of value and then "snipe" at what others try to do.
And to "rag" on the idea that people do nothing when the chips are down... and then make themselves "John-Kerry-after-the-fact-heros" by selling out, or undercutting, the ones who did in fact contribute
SOMETHING!
I was dubious about it because the odds are in favor of a CWP being on board, however, I realized that it would be very difficult for commuters to carry to and from work because their workplaces have nearly nullified the "right to carry".In a state where about 50,000 citizens have CWP's... not one person on the train had a gun....
"They couldn't leave a gun at the tram stop" was a sarcastic reference to leaving your weapon in the car while visiting a place where concealed carry is prohibited...The fact that no one (apparently) had a gun is... POSSIBLY because they weren't allowed to carry a gun to the workplace, and they couldn't leave a gun at the tram stop if they did. So they would have had to leave it home...
I made a comment on your OP that indicated how I interpreted it, and you didn't correct me even though you posted after that.
I also hope so.I hope nobody took your advice to shoot someone then run away as a lesson to learn from.
"I" was not really "I" but it worked better in the false part of my scenario. This was a reference to how do you protect yourself from any CONSEQUENCES of using your weapon to protect the innocent or yourself... without doing the "Death Wish vigilante" disappearing act.If I shot the perp (anywhere on his body) and if I were to stick around, my fellow citizen's (sic) would probably have called 911 on me and I'd be defending myself from some sort of legal charges... and maybe a lawsuit...
This was (hopefully) to keep posters from attacking the thread start with frivolous nonsense... Instead it just gave them some nonsense to attack.Yeah, yeah, I know the RAMafications of shooting someone in the a$$...

...in order to keep the "lemmings" from turning on you...What would you have done? And how?
