That said, a mass shooting would be one of the only circumstances I would ever get involved. Domestic disputes, fights, etc., are not something I involve myself in.
I do not carry my firearm to be a hero. I would not get involved in someone's dispute just to get involved. If it was more practical I would call the police and let them handle it. But if people are being harmed and I am able to I would. Strangers or not, I am hardwired to help.
