Virginia shooting

I have never jumped on any armed madmen but that was not the point of my post. I was suggesting a hypothetical situation of a "what if?" That was Cooper's theory, but whether I would fight back, as I said in my previous post, I have no idea. Like Jerry, I would pray for courage.
I do know this. Anyone who would gun down helpless people is the worst example of a coward who would not stand a chance on a level playing field.
Jerry, your example of armed guards makes me think of a scene in "Band of Brothers." where Maj. Winters removes all but one round from a trigger-happy soldier's M1 after he was assigned to lead some POWs back to base, telling him that if he shoots one prisoner, the others will jump him.
