Dude, I carry, but I'm not the popo or Captain America.
Look at CCW as being a bystander at a car wreck with basic medical skills. If there is a ****storm that you do not feel your training is suitable to deal with, stand down. If it exceeds your training, there is no duty to intervene. Or in an accident you cannto be sued as long as you do not exceed what you've been trained to do.
Drag a victim out of a burning car and there are complications later? You're ok, it was a lifesaving move. (In most states) Do a tracheotomy you're not trained for and the guy dies? You're screwed.
You will never get jacked up for not getting involved, like you will for getting involved and hurting an innocent or making things worse. Some folks have had more training with firearms than others. Some not so much. The supreme court has ruled that even the police have no obligation to intervene or protect anyone. So there is no way a civilian is obligated to do so.
Again, to the level of competency of "your" training. Now, you have to deal with your own demons on your own. But again, it is what it is.
That's an ugly synopsis, but I hope I got my point across. Just because you carry you have no legal obligation to step in. None.
I honestly advise students to mind their own damn business. Protect them and theirs and let everyone else worry about themselves. Because you just never know.
