Imagine for a moment that you are at an organized rocket launch when suddenly and without warning an armed person randomly opens fire on both the participants and spectators. What would you do?
Here https://www.jewishjournal.com/opinion/article/my_experience_of_an_active_shooter_incident is what one courageous man did to protect not only himself but others who were also present.
The Right to keep and when necessary bear arms comes to my mind. An active shooter always has the element of surprise in his or her favor, but firearms in possession of people who are skilled in their use can quickly neutralize an aggressor and mitigate the damage that would otherwise be suffered. Police cannot be everywhere and in fact have no duty to protect the individual citizen. https://law.justia.com/cases/district-of-columbia/court-of-appeals/1981/79-6-3.html
In this dangerous world which we now find ourselves in I think this is a topic of relevant discussion, even among hobby rocket enthusiasts.
