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 |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
