Even if someone had their handgun with them in the movie theater, firing it with all the people running would be very risky and could just hit one of the people trying to flee. Same in a Gym there are just to much of a chance of hurting or killing the wrong person.
Are you anti-gun or pro-gun? Someone trying to stop this madman is better than nobody doing nothing at all. Oh wait that's what happened and look how that turned out, this is such a tragic event that happened.

If 5-6 people scattered thoughout the the had been armed, the chances are excellent that one or more of them would have been close to, and probably threatened by, the shooter, and would have had good opportunity to put up a good defense.I disagree. Someone trying to stop the madman can easily contribute to the problem in this situation with smoke, chaos, darkness, and tons of people running around. If the good guy had a clear line of sight on the guy, then yes it would stop him. But if the good guy was in the back of the theater, he may just take out an innocent person. Having a gun doesnt mean its always best to use the gun.
