I believe I saw an interview (maybe on Louder?) where Mr. Willeford lamented that he didn't have a loaded magazine. He didn't dwell on it long but you could tell he was almost dumbfounded that he didn't have a loaded magazine.
I've watched so much that I'm not sure where I saw it and if it was actually Mr. Willeford or one of his spokesmen.

Re: This Gun Instructor Says Many Who Carry A Gun Aren't Trained To Respond To A Shooter
Regarding the guitar/musician statement in the light of the "gun instructor's" comments.
Having a fire extinguisher does not make me a fireman. It does give me a chance to stop, or at least slow down, a blaze until help arrives. If I'm lucky I can put out the fire.
I haven't trained enough. I haven't gone to any big name training schools. I don't have a lot of time or money. I am an NRA instructor in three disciplines and an LTC instructor who tries to do a little training on my own. Just because I'm not Navy Seal Starsky and Hutch certified doesn't mean I can't be effective.
Putting rounds on target, even an armored target, will get inside their OODA loop. At the least this will buy time, at the most the threat in stopped. Just returning fire, hits or miss, will probably make them reassess their desire. Or it may not but at least I have an option. The more time I can tie up keeping the bad guy jumping in his OODA loop the more time I, and others, have to get out or engage and more time for the Calvary to get there.
We must be aware of our limitations and work within them. If a bad guy was to come our auditorium opposite of where I normally sit I don't have a shot. It's almost 200' and there will be a bunch of people in the way. My best action may be helping people get out the door while covering their exit. Or maybe I can work my way towards the shooter for a better shot. I don't know but I play the same mental games that TAM does.
Yes we all need training, and more training, but don't discount someone that can only play Mary had a Little Lamb.
As an guitar aside, reminds me of the Dire Straits lyrics, "You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords. Mind, he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing."
