POLICE are "good guys with guns" in case you didn't know.
These types of tragedies play out in so many different ways, no one can predict how anyone, including yourself, will act.
In a store with 3000 people running panic stricken every which way or a school where innocents are slaughtered like cattle. A cop's duty is to advance toward the threat to try and stop it. A civilian that carries would most likely shelter himself, his loved ones and anyone that would listen to him and let a threat approach as in a defensive posture. If the threat makes itself visible and a defensive action is possible, then he/she might be able to stop it.
My thoughts are to protect first and act further if possible.
