However with the plane crashes of 9/11 and now this shoot up. I think most people are starting to realize that if you do nothing you will probably die, if you do something you'll probably die but you may be able to stop it and save others.
The professor that stood in the door taking the "heat" preventing the nut from entering the classroom. The senior who took charge and used furniture to barricade a classroom. Action = saved lives.
The nut had to reload. He'd have to had pocketed one pistol and then unclip then reclip the other. That would be 5 to 10 seconds at a range when calm
OK I understand about learning, drilling and actually having to do something in a crisis. I'm a CPR professional rescuer instructor. I also wrestled my daughter with a 10'' knife when she tried to kill herself. (why I don't own guns, still believe in the right to have them) Unarming a suicidal person that you care about and don't want to physically hurt or kill can be challenging, Gore you have my sympathies, that was probably as emotional for you as it was for your friend.
However are we all to be "lambs for the slaughter" because someone's parents or lawyers are going to make whatever life we have left afterwards miserable?
