Six, we have many more individuals that own guns here, but these attacks aren't coming on some rural property owner's ranch.

This happened in a city where individuals are less likely to carry.

And, even if some guy mustered the courage to confront these guys (kinda like the French cop on the bicycle), he'd be badly outgunned and most likely suffer the same fate as that policeman.

Now, if EVERY citizen carried a weapon at ALL times, then there may be enough of a deterrent to keep terrorists out of our cities.

The two sets of terrorists took down armed police officers and armed body guards without getting hit. I think that the element of surprise is a huge advantage for heavily armed assailants, whether they're facing armed and trained professionals or armed citizens. I agree with you, MS.

And, the Charlie Hebdo shooters were armed far beyond what normal police, guards, or citizens in any city would or should be -- they had a loaded M82 rocket launcher, two Kalashnikov machine guns and two automatic pistols on them.

I don't know the deal with the 18 year old male who was initially cited as a suspect (turned himself in). But, the other 3 male suspects (all killed) and the female suspect were on French security radar and reportedly fell off regular surveillance when they went for a long period of time without arrest or incident. I think the penalties for any terrorist-related crimes should be much tougher, personally.

The female is reportedly on the run and flew to Syria, according to several different media outlets. A member of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula told media sources that this was an organized hit ordered from Yemen. I don't know if that's true or not, but it's been confirmed that the older brother was in Yemen a couple of years back (I mistakenly posted upthread that it was the younger brother).
