They'd have to attack the north or west coast for it to be successful in my opinion. Watching the video of the man on the second floor filming people running out of the exits is a good example. Most southerners could easily thwart an attack with deer rifles and pistols in that instance.
LOL the real world isn't red dawn you moron

A lot of people here aren't realizing that these real world situations aren't like the movies. Most people who own guns aren't trained for John McClaine like situations, and they would end up killing innocents. Hundreds of people fleeing a scene, there is sure to be an innocent caught in the crossfire. And that is assuming the carrier knows who the perpetrator is. Most people would be relying solely on instinct, and if they see a guy with a gun, their initial instinct will be to shoot the person, unaware he's doing the same thing he is. Granted this is a bit easier than an Aurora situation since they're chunking grenades and wielding AK-47s, but it would inevitably devolve into innocents killing other innocents.

I'm not saying Billy and buddies ride down the street shooting shotguns would have prevented an attack. The southeast has a larger number of people who own/use guns. To say that the possibility of concealed carries couldn't hinder an attack is ignorant.
ETA: to be fair I think those of you making the Die Hard references don't fully understand what I'm asking. I'm not saying a one man army wipes out the terrorist. But the ability to at least return fire could be beneficial. In my opinion anyways.
