According to Thornton Police Department, when 47-year-old Scott Ostrem opened fire inside the supermarket, many of the shoppers ran for cover. Some, however, pulled out their guns — but could not muster the courage to target the active shooter.

It is not a lack of courage to NOT shoot because there are too many innocents in the way!!!!!

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.
