With a shooting in southern Alabama, there is the more outrage and fear. Examiner Gun Rights Columnist John Longenecker observes that there will also be the calls for more gun control from the Alabama shooting.
As with nearly all shootings, they are over in minutes, and when the shooter roves, as is this case during a car chase, the shooting may continue for some time, and just as deadly as always because they got well underway unopposed.
In his piece at Examiner.com, Longenecker makes an interesting observation in his comparison of the armed citizen to what medical professionals call bystander CPR. This is the same CPR training medical professionals complete.
"It becomes more legitimate an analogy with every shooting," says Longenecker. A CPR Instructor and past Los Angeles Paramedic, he first articulated what he calls the CPR Corollary decades ago as a perfect analogy to citizens who carry concealed weapons wherever they go.
"The CPR-trained layman carries his training everywhere, especially outside the medical setting. The armed citizen carries his authority to prevent a crime everywhere, too. Full-time professional Police and EMS are not the only ones who have all legal authority to save a life," Longenecker notes.
This is only one of several points of comparison Longenecker includes in his CPR Corollary.
His question is what is taking officials so very long to solve this problem?
