Some number of those people may be carrying now.
The Bad Guy with the gun has been there all my life. The Good Guy who is now carrying but doesn't have a clue how to react in a bad situation is what will worry me going forward.

Amen to that.
One can abide by the 2nd amendment but still should have to take a course, and hopefully have no criminal or mental health issues. We are supposed to have a license to drive a car but don’t need one for a gun? Does a license stop all bad drivers? Of course not. But it has to help.
Additionally, look at all the anger, fear & hate in society now. People being shot because they turn in a driveway or came to a door. It isn’t the bad guy I will encounter on a daily basis, it is the uneducated fearful good citizen.
Then there is the gun with no safety lock that gets found in grandma’s nightstand when the grandkids visit…
