Thank you for this information.
It was mentioned above that comparatively few people carry concealed. This is true, but one carrier may effectively protect a hundred people at church or a thousand people at a concert at a time. Our effectiveness exceeds our immediate numbers.
What he does is what a cavalry screen does against an attack. He occupies the attacker or attackers, forcing him or them to "deploy" and attack him, instead of the intended victims. The murderer HAS to pay attention to the cop because that's his ONLY hope of continuing to shoot helpless victims. If he ignores the cop, he gets shot in the back. That gives the victims time to be some place else.I guess you can use the basic theory that a lone cop running to the bad guy will:
Nope. We aren't always on scene; even if so, we aren't always in a position to do anything to stop an attack; even if so, we aren't always within range; even if so, we aren't always willing to get involved; even if so, we do not always succeed. Hence, crime continues even when citizens arm themselves. Batman was a fictional character.

And the fact that it happens confers a public benefit on non-carriers, who really ought to pay us for the benefit we confer on them.
