    I’ve always wondered how people thought the “good guy with a gun” would work in a chaotic real world situation.

    They picture it pretty much how it went down here:

    Personally, I would just prefer to have a pistol in hand if I ended up in the last part of ‘run, hide, fight’.

      Yeah they picture it as a very specific scenario with one mass shooter and one retaliatory shooter. Any more than one retaliatory shooter and it all falls apart as OP described though lol.
