And if involved in an incident where there is an active shooter bent on causing as much carnage as possible, being armed gives the innocent bystander the opportunity to either escape or engage the active shooter with the idea of mitigating the damage and loss of life the active shooter is intent on causing.
No one wants to be involved in anything like that and no system of defense is fool proof. These are the chances you take out in the public in these days and times, Platapus. If you have a better idea, we would love to hear it.
For me and many others though, I would rather take my chances with my concealed weapon and go down swinging. This is why anyone who carries should know their carry weapon and it's strengths and limitations and be proficient in it's use. This includes tactics as well.
