The point is that organized, trained security stopped the gunman. Not a random CCW.

I have no doubt that someone can come up with a case where random CCW actually stopped violence, but this isn't it.
Well trained security stopped the gunman? Try a well trained CCW holder.

You can spin it however you want, but a security guard ex-cop with no CCW wouldn't of done jack shit. This same lady in a 'gun free' zone would of been another helpless bystander.

Another thing I don't understand is 'random CCW'. What is random about deciding to walk around with a loaded gun in the case that you may need to use it to protect yourself or stop a mass shooting.

There is nothing 'random' about a CCW license.
