Brad Elfring, in his June 21 letter “Protect ability for self-defense,” thinks those poor souls in Orlando, Fla., may have died because they were unarmed. I don’t want to be in a bar or a theater when some whacko starts shooting and 14 well-meaning amateurs haul out their guns and start blasting back. How many innocent folks would die in that exchange? I also don’t want to be standing up with a gun in my hand to defend myself when the cops kick in the door and all they see is me with a gun out.
God save us from people who mean well.
