I was born in 1947, but back to the subject at hand which is how does a CHL holder react to some moron going postal at a mall. It seems like the most discrete course of action would be to run to the nearest store and beat feet out of the delivery door in the rear. I took FAS-3, and after spending the whole weekend learning tactics and technique the final lesson was that the best way to win a gunfight is to avoid it. Unless the shooter is right on top of you get out of Dodge and let the SWAT team deal with him. Other CHL holders and the police don't know you from the BG. The police have blanket immunity from criminal and civil consequences, armed peons don't. In the chaos of a mass shooting in a crowded area a lot can go wrong, and I have no intention of being the scapegoat. I go armed to defend my own life and those of the people I love. I feel no obligation to exercise lethal force on behalf of unarmed strangers who depend on the police for their security.
