Ok I have an interesting comment, something that actually happened, & suprisingly no one had a gun to defent themselves. it would have been a totally different outcome.
quite a few years ago, the Hospital where I used to live, had the local police come in & act as terrorist, they were not in uniform. they were supposedly were testing the employees, & their guns were unloaded, they came in holding employees at gun point, real guns, & forcing employees to floor, & demanding drugs.
not one employee knew this "drill" was supposed to happen, only some upper management, as well as police knew it was a drill, but all the employees were terrorized, & threatened at gun point by the police. no one was hurt during that drill.
It made paper, then employees sued for that & anxiety & nightmares, etc. I forget what exactly was sued for, & then it got hushed over. but what would have happened if a citizen carrying or a hospital employee had been carrying, it was against rules for a employee to carry, but wasnt for citizens to carry. now during a staged terrorist attack, what would have been the outcome if a few officers had been "shot in the line of duty"???? no badges showing, no uniforms, & came rushing in demanding people to floor, & demanding drugs. holding guns to employees heads, sure sounds like something they should not have done. I guess it was good they didn't have any armed employees, or citizens, my cousin would have been armed, but wasnt working when it happened, & quit because of that incident, & not trusting employer. they said they would have shot them a few "terrorist" & it would have got out of hand quick, & would they have probably gone to prison & maybe got the death penalty for defending themselves? especially since they would have shot an officer in the line of duty?
