The facts and data are clear; the "good guy with a gun" is not a viable and reliable option for public safety. It's the other way around. Less than 1% of cases turn out to be successful. Far more turn out horribly wrong. Perhaps if every gun owner had hundreds of hours of training and practice as well as life experience using firearms to kill other humans (think military), then this might not be the case. But it simply is.
