But very very true!!!

I told my wife, if just one person was carrying in that movies the other night, the outcome would have been different.

A lot of factors would have to be considered. Just because somebody might have beeen carrying a firearm doessn't mean he/she would get involved. Or trained on how to react in that situation.

The problem with the people that are against the 2nd ammendment, is that:

Everytime we have a crazy person do a shooting, they want to take the guns away from the good people who didn't have anything to do with it.

they don't trust us with private ownership of firearms.
even though the stats speak for themselves.

There are course the average citizen can take on gun control, ie: how to shoot what you're aiming at. Many places offer some kind of combat shooting course, and I surmise that some enterprising people will start offering training. The only downside is once most people take a course they won't practice what they learned.

I agree.  When you're talking about an active shooter situation such as this inside a very crowded movie theater, with every one running the same direction toward the shooter to get out, the possibility of missing and hitting someone innocent is extremely high.  Also, someone bumping you and causing you to accidentally shoot another person is also extremely high.  In addition, it's dark so you wouldn't be able to tell he is wearing full body armor including a helmet.  Your best bet would be a face shot and you better be a really good shot under pressure and pumping adrenaline.  Of course, ou wouldn't know about the armor unless you illuminated him with a light. Then, of course, you've attracted his attention.
