Then nobody knows if any given person has evil intentions. And if an evil person positions themselves in a defensible location, they are going to be able to get shots off before any of the "good guys with with guns" can respond. And then if the good guys are firing back when the authorities arrive, they can't necessarily immediately be sure who are the good and bad guys.

But hey, these kinds of scenarios are worth it, right Chuck?
