Dumb is the first thing that comes to mind. Trying to figure out what might of happened if folks had a gun is simply impossible. The variables are immense.

‘“Still got killed, but did better than I thought I would,” said Matthew.’

That was very interesting. Not at all what I expected. I wonder why they only armed ‘one civilian’? If this had happened in America, would it not be likely that in a group of twelve or more, there would be multiple armed civilians?

Natural reaction is fight, flight or freeze. Training in realistic situations is required to overcome these natural impulses.

Military, FBI and police all use Hogan’s alleys or other technology to simulate shoot no-shoot situations.

Paper targets and pop ups are designed to appear like a realistic target.

Training for most carry licenses when required, typically include similar.

For all of the Democrat Undergrounders appearing here lately, take football.

Coaches study films of opposition so they know how to react. They run plays over and over so they react and don’t have to think about what to do.

Same with preparing for the possibility one may be in a shooting situation.

If they were armed the terrorist may not have attempted.

How about a panic room protected with claymore mines?
