At me, and hit me? None.

Only one shot? Based on what I've read, you can never locate the source, especially since the sonic boom of a supersonic projectile is in a likely different direction.

But it did put a limit on what they could achieve. If they'd attempted a mass shooting and then to run away, if not immediately taken down I would have found cover and shot back. And probably wouldn't have been alone.

They went to great and successful lengths to be covert (didn't help that the guy leading the hunt was an idiot and they did the usual "it's got to be a white man" profiling vs. the Sudden Jihad Syndrome it turned out to be ... the police even stopped them once, but they obviously weren't enemies of the state...). You can't rule out the area being well armed as one of the reasons.

As for MA, they were armed, and since they had to get around the law to get that way almost certainly knew if they broke into a house or apartment the residents couldn't have fought back. My big fear during the manhunt was that the police would bust into a dwelling and find the suspect plus the dead bodies of the residents....

Congratulations that you are capable of handling a threat profile (mass shooting event) that is completely different from what actually happened in DC. Lucky for the rest of us, the police in Boston are capable of handling a wider array of threats.

And BTW, DC was partially locked down for weeks, by civilians: my outdoor rec sports league cancelled itself out of fear of snipe threatsm

I guess you didn't get my point, so I'll put it another way: to my knowledge, except for the Arizona Congresswoman shooting, all the recent mass shooting events going back to Stockton happened in so called "gun free zones".

We in the RKBA community don't think that's coincidental.
