I'm loving the MSM and social justice warrior meltdown over the term "Good Samaritan" being applied here. Not only is Elisjsha Dicken a "Good Samaritan" he is a good citizen and a hero. I hope his story inspires others to carry.
The AP is peddling this narrative that good guys with guns only stop "3% of mass shootings," but John Lott destroys that narrative:

For the period from 2014 to 2019, the FBI had missed additional cases. Once those cases are included, there were 25 cases out of 162 (15.4%) where people with permitted concealed handguns stopped the attacks. The FBI reports exclude cases where shooting attacks have been stopped by concealed handgun permit holders. To put it differently, while 36% of active shooting attacks have occurred in places where guns are allowed, almost half (42.3%) of those were stopped by people who legally carry concealed handguns.
