A sudden and wild shootout involving the assailant and citizens armed with concealed weapons would potentially catch countless innocent victims in the crossfire.

Or could potentially reduce the amount of innocent victims by taking out the bad guy.

Actually, the recent mall shooter was confronted with a CCW individual who could not shoot because of people behind the perp. The CCW guy maneuvered for a shot, but the perp saw him, retreated, and killed himself rather than risk being taken down.

Training saves lives, especially in the short-or-no-shoot moment.

Or it could be like what actually happened in Oregon, where the shooter saw someone else packing (and never shot one bullet), knew the gig was up, and committed suicide.

I love how some people project their own pantie-wetting response to a crisis on others. They have never any training and therefore have no idea what to do, so everyone else will panic, too.

Yep. If several people were carrying weopons when the Sandy Hill shooting started, my money would go on the “under” if the line was set at 28 deaths.

Case in point: The first big mass shooting in America which took place at the UT tower in Austin, Texas in the mid 1960s. Almost every victim was gunned down in the first few minutes of the shooting when the perp had a free fire zone.

Once the campus realized what was happening, armed citizens retrieved firearms and kept the shooter pinned down until law enforcement arrived. There were zero innocent victims shot by a relatively unorganized group of citizens. There were a number who received superficial injuries from flying glass and debris when the perp was no longer able to put his head above the parapet to shoot anyone on campus and had to content himself with shooting victims already in the tower.

Yeah, it would have been nice if the armed Texas citizens would have been better shots. But a superficial injury by flying glass is still far preferable to a fatal injury by gunfire.

I imagine the adult victims would have appreciated a little crossfire

And considering the mere approach of armed opposition(twenty minutes later) cause the attacker to cease his illicit activity and remove himself from this worldly proximity

Just imagine what the whizzing of an actual bullet past his head would do.

After all we are told, Ad nauseam, by anti gun critic and liberals in general "that if it saved just one life, it would be worth it"

How would that be any different than a NYPD response?
