Great, so they shot each other.
I got that part.
But, I mean this isn't the wild wild west (sorry I live on the east coast so forgive my not understanding) but what kind of personal protection do you need watching your kids play an organized sport?
(I'm asking rhetotically because while it makes sense to you, I can't wrap my head around it regardless of the explanation.)

Usually, when someone carries a weapon, they carry it with them at all times when permitted. If you believe you need a firearm for personal protection, why would you ever leave it at home?
A friend of mine has had to draw his weapon twice. He lives in a bad part of town. Both times, he successfully avoided being mugged while filling up at a gas station. He never had to fire, but the gun very well may have saved his life. It definitely protected his stuff.

I guess but just for myself, I grew up in some pretty rough parts of town but never needed to pack, much less needed to be packing to go to a kiddie sporting event so the significance is lost on me with this story.
Still tragic all the same.

A lot of folks live in houses without security systems and never need 'em. Same story. It's just an additional measure of security. I know if someone wants to make me a victim, I'd much rather have a gun than not have a gun.
