Why would anyone risk their life to engage a gunman unless they were personally threatened? Even if successful, they will get hassled by the police, incur legal expenses, and very likely end up in legal limbo for an extended period.
And that is the best scenario. They could be shot by the perpetrator or responding police. They could shoot someone by mistake or even a though and through shot hitting someone in the background.
We aren't paid to take those risks and don't have the legal protections that the police enjoy. |

TO REMEMBER |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
