Here it is noteworthy that Dodge City did not rely on good guys with guns to keep the peace, only the surrender of all firearms while within the city limits did the trick. In this instance in Greenwood, the good guy with the gun is very fortunate that the gunplay ended before the police arrived. But, how long will it be before there are two or more good guys with guns (ggwg) at the scene of an active shooter event? If the police arrive before the gun battle ends, what are the odds that they will not also kill the ggwg's? How can we be sure that the ggwg's are also able to identify each other and not fire upon themselves? Finally, if police who are trained can mistakenly take unarmed people as deadly threats and kill them before it can be ascertained that they were harmless, how can we be sure that ggwg's won't make such mistakes?
