``Security specialists say the attack was probably months in the
planning and appears to have been finely tuned in its execution, but
it ultimately relied on only an estimated 25 gunmen lightly armed with
assault rifles and hand-grenades.''

What they forgot to say that it relied also on the fact that the
Indian citizens who were attacked, were not armed. Somehow, I have
hard times visualizing this attack happening in, say, Oklahoma City.

in a crowded place, it is not at all clear that a whole bunch of scared and
armed to the teeth civillians, shooting at attackers and at eachother
because they don't know who the attackers are, would reduce casualties.

I realize that liberals have a great deal of difficulty with
discerning good from evil without a list of talking points from the
Media, but for the rest of us it wouldn't be that difficult. Those
who are trying to kill you will serve as a good metric for who
qualifies as what. That would be the non-staff persons with the AKs,
for those of you in Brentwood. (I was going to say "Rio Linda" but in
this sort of situation, the folks in Rio Linda haven't been "educated"
out of common sense.)
Now while you might be the sort who would start blazing away at
anything which moved, those who actually have some experience with
firearms know several things of which you seem unaware. For starters,
unlike in the movies, guns do not have an infinite number of rounds in
them. So you have to make every round count.
Secondly, the guys with the AKs and grenades are probably the bad
guys. That probability approaches unity. Remember that "finite ammo
supply"? that also means you don't shoot unless you are sure of your
shot, or there is no alternative. Going up against a guy with an AK
with only a 38 (not even if it is a 357) is not optimal, unless the
alternative is dieing.

But don't worry. When seconds count, the SWAT team is only
minutes away.
