No one said if someone had a concealed weapon it would have stopped the attack. Only that it might.
With no other defensive weapons in the theater, there was no choice to be made. No one could make a shoot/no-shoot decision. Yet Cinemark posts ALL its theaters so even law-abiding permit holders cannot carry.
Even a flashlight could have blinded the perpetrator.
