Several have commented on group shootings where if someone had a gun it could have shortened or stopped the attack/s. For all anyone knows there were people in the crowd who had guns and simply panicked and didn't use them. Having a CCL doesn't mean you're trained, it simply means you can carry a gun legally, that's all. In the heat of the moment, no one can tell what they would do unless they've had actual experience.

Problem with your logic is that ALL of those places were gun free zones. EVERY ONE! Every state is different, but one thing is for certain you never see a mass shooting at a gun store or a gun swap meet or at the SHOT Show! It is a proven fact that an armed society it a civilized society.

It makes me laugh to listen to people who still believe everyone who carries thinks they are a Texas Ranger! These are tools people choose to carry just like a pocket knife or a wrench but they are for protection against the one who would like to do evil! I have NEVER had to use this tool and I pray every day I never do but that does not stop me from having it

As far as cops go, they may be highly trained but more often than not they are not better at using their firearm than the civilian enthusiast!! Both my FIL and BIL are ex LEO's and I can outshoot both of them all day long in unstressed and stressed circumstances! They carried them as tools and never shoot except to qual where I shoot all the time reload my own ammo and enjoy both long range and handgun shooting
