The Dallas Morning News has an article discussing cautious optimism at getting concealed carry on Texas college campuses passed in the 2011 legislative session.
What stood out to me in the article was this:
But Colin Goddard, assistant director for federal legislation for the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, who survived the massacre at Virginia Tech, says allowing guns on campus is a bad idea.
“If there’s someone coming in to shoot a bunch of people in a classroom, you’re already lost,” said Goddard, who was shot four times. “To think you can react and effectively shoot the target … These people have seen too many movies. They’re not in touch with reality.”
I wonder how many movies Mr. Goddard has seen.
Tom Givens of Rangemaster has had nearly 60 students survive self-defense incidents because they were carrying concealed.
They were able to react and effectively shoot the target.
They were very in touch with reality — that’s why they carried their guns. That’s why they lived.

Guess Mr. Goddard also doesn’t read the papers or watch the news too often either.
We have near daily stories of people having a gun pulled on them and they fight back successfully.
We have case after case of armed resistance stopping attacks from Pearl High School in Mississippi to Jean Assum in Colorado.
Who is out of touch?
Selective “fact” gathering, I guess.
He uses that “movies” thing way too much. I blogged about something similar over a year ago.

I think he has his “speech” and talking points, and just keeps parroting it.
