ShootDontTalk,
Very well said.
Like you, if absolutely convinced I'm in the right I would step in to help.
There's the problem.
How to be certain I'm in the right...
That said, I think a very small percentage of CHLers are wannabe LEO's (or else why would CHL badges, sashes, etc. be on the market?) and would charge in - darn the torpedoes full speed ahead...
For the most part, not totally, as I indicated above, I view my CHL as something to allow self defense for me and mine.
As has now become a rather shopworn adage, but nonetheless true, a CHL is not a Batman license...

Re: Would you search for a shooter?
Does your CHL transform you into being a soldier?
Answer: NO
An LEO?
Answer: NO
If you heard shots and ran toward them would you know the circumstances you're getting into?
Suppose LEO's were having a shoot out with a criminal/criminals and now you show up / How are the LEO's to know you're a good guy?
Suppose gangbangers are having it out - or even a husband and wife? Do you really want to get in the middle of something like that?
The list of potential circumstances that tell you to stay the heck away is significant.
You aren't OBLIGATED (as you are in a car accident scenario whereby you must stop and render aid) to run towards the sound of gunfire to maybe help the good guys - if in fact there are any...
A CHL doesn't promote you to be an assistant to law enforcement.
