[quote=dellinger63;741743]I guess we'll have to go with the facts. He did go towards gunshots with a gun in his pocket and not in his hand. Call me crazy but even if he had drawn and went towards the gunshots he's a hero in my mind.

To you it somehow matters and that seems even more odd to me now.[/QUOTE

Sigh. My head hurts.

It makes no difference to me in thinking he is a hero or not. Whether his gun was drawn or not makes no difference to me either (and he gets credit for being smart enough not to pull it out and display it)

I simply was wondering if he didn't have a gun at all on his person, would he still have gone towards shots?

At least now you've declassified into just wondering. When it mattered well that was weird. And when you originally wrote, "What they didn't ask him, and what I would want to know, is would Joe have gone outside if he didn't have a gun on him? I would guess not. He still gets credit for being brave."

I took that as in your opinion 'Joe' would not have been so brave w/o a gun when in fact he went outside, gun in pocket, not drawn to offer aid so my guess would have been yes he would have. You however have always seemed to have had insight into the lives and thoughts of people you don't even know.

You maybe right. Not that it matters or is even worth wondering about?
