From my experiences at concerts everyone is usually drunk and they don't permit firearms in there. He was literally shooting defenseless fish in a barrel. i think the good guy with a gun concept works when its someone trying to car jack you from 5 feet away, very different when someone from 400+ yards is raining down full auto fire.

I think its important to realize that just because civilians werent able to help this time doesn't mean it universally applies to every self defense situation.
