COMMENTARY: Reacting vs. shooting

We got some interesting mail about the on how a new state law allowing guns in locked cars at workplaces won't extend to federal sites.

From Michael McManus: "I'm a four-year veteran of the Marine Corps with two years in a combat zone. My concern is not necessarily with the existence of concealed handguns as it is with the lack of situational training. I've taken the mandated 12-hour training (reduced to 8) for a concealed-carry permit and, in fact, had said permit (expired). All this training accomplished was to show you how to fire the weapon, not how to use it in a confrontational situation.
