A subject that is not very often discussed....openly.
And one of significance. All who carry are well intended. All who carry have varying degrees of training and experience.
All who carry need to be consciously aware they become "a shooter" in the eyes of many in panic mode.

An excellent question for advice from law enforcement.
A very important concern. How to know the good guys from the bad guys when bullets are flying? That Las Vegas shooter would have appeared like many Villagers when walking around those casinos.
