True. One on one. One bad-guy shooter and one CHL holder. VA Tech, Columbine, Lubys ... and many others ... were not that situation.

Let's be honest. People would have died. When a crazed person starts shooting, people will probably die. But it takes only one clear-headed person with the proper mindset and tools to stop the tragedy short of 32 people.
