Academic at that point - the minute the three guys announce "This is a stickup" they will be turned into Swiss cheese.

That has a deterrent effect later (besides the "no second offender" bonus).

You really think that a dozen packing citizens with guns aimed in their direction are going to draw and fire at will and maybe nail a few citizens on the way....sounds like a Clint Eastwood movie....

Yeah, about that .... how about that civilian guy with a gun who stepped in to help at the Congresswoman Giffords massacre, huh?

And George Zimmerman being armed worked out well. The old guy on the news here in Kentucky last night, who approached some guys stealing things out of his truck, by grabbing his rifle. Yes, I wish every angry loon suffering road rage was armed with more than 2000 pounds of cheap metal. And bars! We need more states that allow guns in saloons :-)
