First - thank you for your civil disagreement.  As I have said, I am a gun owner and hopefully will do a biathlon some day.

And in fact, I fear those people because they are not trained in those situations and could in fact make things worse if there was a fire fight.  This woman in the church was trained and she did her job.  That was my point.   I read a USA today columnist a while back who had never shot a gun considering getting a pistol for concealed carry.  He is exactly who should not be carrying a loaded gun.  It is very hard to shoot a pistol accurately, unlike the long range 22 that I have.
