All I saw were handguns on the LEOs. When we got to our seats I realized how vulnerable this unarmed crowd was. I won't describe the vulnerabilities that I observed but they were numerous. A crowd panic alone would probably kill 100s. I then realized that I actually saw the event better in front of my TV and I felt safer!
You just described the opening story line for Matthew Bracken's Enemies Foreign And Domestic.

Re: Rethinking EDC

I've typically got (3) 15-round magazines and one in the pipe with me. If that isn't enough, at least I hope to go down with a pile of empty brass at my feet.

Periodically, I get tempted by the small single stack pocket nines. Never end up buying one, because I know I would end up carrying it. I've always carried full size handguns, like my 5" 1911 or full size M&P.

Haven't added a long gun option to the car yet. We'd have to have open conflict for me to take that route.
