I don't know if you're an LEO, or where you live; but for me I think if there is an active shooter situation more than a few yards away from me, or especially one that calls for barrier penetration,
I almost certainly am not the one to resolve it. For one thing, if it's any distance away (like twenty-five yards, for example, seventy-five feet) I may not be entirely clear on just what the situation is and whether it involves a plainclothes cop. And for this elderly civilian, the odds against my encountering such a scene are astronomical.
I'm not and never have been a police officer. I have a cell phone and the ability to be a good witness and reporter. I carry a J-frame with which I'm quite content, though I've considered adding a Ruger LCP as a hip pocket backup.
I'm just an old player of the percentages who has a pretty clear view of his limitations in the hero business.
