In addition to my earlier post, here is a link to an article talking about two churches where armed citizens were able to stop a would-be mass murderer. BTW, I guess Sir Walter Mitty feels that over 50% of the LEOs in this country would not draw their weapon and engage a church shooter, because they have insufficient training. Me thinks he's full of . . . wait, I can't say that, can I?

Re: This Gun Instructor Says Many Who Carry A Gun Aren't Trained To Respond To A Shooter
This guy must be a legend in his own mind, but it's an idiot to the real world. This line from his "About Me" section of his blog speaks volumes; "I have sold more than 40,000 guns and I know as much about guns and hunting as anyone." Really? Nothing indicates he has any advanced training, has served in the military or as a peace officer, or has any credentials whatsoever, other than being an NRA Instructor. Yet he knows as much about guns as anyone. Hello Walter Mitty.
First, he makes a grossly inaccurate assumption that someone in the 50-person congregation at Southerland Springs had a gun and simply didn't try to shoot. Garbage! If that were true, then it would have come out by now. Also, with slightly over 4% of the population having an LTC, the chance that any of the 50 people (which includes several kids) had a License and a gun is almost non-existent. Those that do have a License could well have believed that their church was in no danger and didn't carry to church.
As to not being able to respond because they were not trained, again . . . GARBAGE!!! Look how many times we see homeowners shooting burglars, many of whom are under fire when they do so. Some of them have effectively returned fire even after being wounded. Most of these people don't have a License, so in all likelihood, they have no training whatsoever. In just the last year, there have been three or four untrained women well into their 60's who have successfully defended themselves against armed intruders.
