I am of the opinion that other people packing and drawing guns would create even more chaos and possibly more deaths. That is assuming you can draw your gun and get a clean shot without panicking. Most people who advocate packing guns in public would likely have no idea how to handle the situation in the heat of the moment. 99.9% of people wouldn't know.
The only shortcoming was that there is usually someone who hears the chaos in another room, and does have time to withdraw a weapon. However, in the heat of the moment, I suspect the person would be far too panicked and full of adrenaline to accurately neutralize the attacker.
