Might add too that the bad guys almost always have the option to draw first blood. They can have gun (knife, club, bomb, etc.,?) already in hand, finger on trigger, whereas innocent legit concealed carry citizens can't and especially not in public facilities. Bystanders not initially put down literally only have maybe a few seconds tops to try to assess the situation, focus on their options, and decide if, how, and when to react.
