There's a movement in the U.S. to permit students to carry concealed weapons on college campuses, in order to defend themselves against school shooters. One problem with this idea was raised by the police chief at the University of Cincinnati:

"I shoot everybody with a gun, who doesn't have a uniform on."

Yeah, I remember LA in the 1980s. My own patch wasn't too bad, just a little ways up the boulevard, things were really tense because everyone was indeed packing. Someone opened up on a house party was I at once and the panic was such that the only thing anyone could do was hit the ground. Idiot's aim was so bad that he put a bunch of holes in the roof so no one got hurt.

As I've said, if firearms start looking like necessity, you're society's got real problems and they're not the kind that can be solved by asserting 2nd Ammendment rights or one's particular interpretation of it.
