As it happens, I don't know of any negative stories concerning lawfully armed private citizens. If I did, and an appropriate moment came up in class to use it, I certainly would. However, I don't want you to get the idea that we feed our students politics or philosophy with the training. We don't. I know I am never going to have as much time with the students as I would like, even in the best case, and I think that spending a lot of time on anecdotes - however on point - is just stealing time from the class. I always try to accomodate a small amount of such questions, but beyond that I make sure that are held until after class.
Beyond that, its not really my place to be concerned with whether or not someone chooses to carry a gun. If they're in a basic non-LEO class, then they have already reached some sort of comfort level, and in my other classes that's not an issue. I just want to make sure that their right to do so isn't restricted should they wish to make that decision.
