How about Luby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Tx back in 1991 when some whack job drove his truck into the restaurant, got out, and killed 23 people before committing suicide.

Though geeeeee...I can't help wonderin' WHY in Texas of all places, where folks have been packin' heat since ol' Sam Houston broke that territory away from Santa Anna's clutches...WHY at least ONE of those 23 folks wasn't packin' heat that fateful day in Killeen in order to stop that, MOST LIKELY UP 'TIL THEN law abidin', whack job???

Actually, one woman always carried her gun in her purse. That fateful day when she reached for it, she remembered she had left her purse in the car since her dad was treating her to a meal. She's beat herself up quite a bit about it.



She also beat Texas up quite a bit about it. Texas weapons carry laws at that time prohibited the law abiding Suzanna Hupp from having her pistol with her. As a result of the Lubys Massacre, Texas enacted 'shall issue' regulations that made it easier for qualified Texas residents to obtain concealed carry permits.

There are many instances of citizens who were lawfully carrying weapons that have saved numerous lives by using their weapons in situations similar to the case under discussion.
