Yeah, that guy was seriously lucky. I'm glad no one was hurt, but it wouldn't have been so bad if someone had been carrying there. As backwards as it is, I bet the new line they'll use is "You can't carry a gun here! Didn't you hear about the shooting at that doctor's office?"
. . .to which the only suitable response is "I'm carrying a gun in here BECAUSE I heard about it! Don't you have one?"
Another favorite of mine:
"Why are you carrying a gun?"
"Why aren't YOU?" (with a puzzled expression and tone of voice)
Or:
"Why are you carrying a pistol?"
"Because a rifle won't fit in the holster!" (with tone indicating that only a complete and utter moron would ask such a question)
This last one is courtesy of my then-5-year-old son.
