Prob more noticeable because of recent shootings. Will be a challenge to track because news will predominantly be local as the msm won't carry because it is counter to the narrative.

Understood.

Did some follow up. Statistics indicate that only 3% of mass shootings were stopped by a citizen with a gun. 15% if other physical intervention by civilians.

What this doesn’t factor in is if an armed citizen is present and can intervene. Over 90% of mass shootings occur in “gun free” zones - further limiting armed citizen intervention. Also doesn’t address the documented reduction in potential deaths. In cases of police stopping the shooter casualties are high. In the recent event shooter was stopped at 4 deaths.

I think there is a trend for increased carry which will likely increase the number of interventions by armed citizens It will still be hard to track because the narrative is still against it. I carry and pray that I’m not forced into that situation, but am resolved to do what I can in that event.
