I have had training in “Unintended Gunfights” , so exactly what occurred in Colorado. I can tell you, just one person with a gun shooting back at the attacker, makes a HUGE difference. Knowing people carry guns, forces bad people to think twice before shooting. In our scenarios, the man doing the shooting was Former Special Forces. The people in the room, were you’re average American, no training besides basic weapons handling and this day of training. 98% of the time, the defender in the room with the gun was able to shoot the attacker before he even saw the defender. Why, cause of concealing the draw. He got to cover first, then drew his weapon and fired. One day of training by One person, could have saved at least One life in that theater. That sounds like its worth it to me.
