The point that I was making was that people being around who are trained to use guns did not stop the Dayton shooter from going there. Fortunately city officials and police officials had great foresight in this case and had regular detachments of officers covering the area, that did make the difference between 9 being dead and the new worst mass shooting in US history and likely word history. The cops that faced down that maniac had real guts, it takes that to face an assault weapon with a sidearm.
