There are almost no instances of a public shooter being stopped by another citizen with a gun, minus the police, because it is super rare to have a gun at your side or in your jacket in public places unless you have malicious intentions.

lolno. Guns are used in defense MORE often than illegally
Guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year -- or about 6,850 times a day.1 This means that each year, firearms are used more than 60 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives
