Whether you think it makes sense or not, they proved quite capable during the Portland Mall shooting, at the school shooting in Pearl MS and at the Appalachian School of Law in 2002 as well as several others I'd have to look up (if it weren't a sign of mental illness of course).

In each of those cases, the shooter was stopped by armed civilians well before police could respond.
