Another relatively minor quibble in an otherwise worthwhile effort...in Colorado Springs, when the gunman entered the building he was met by not one but three armed parishioners, two of whom were unwilling to fire, for whatever reason...The female ex-cop who took charge and opened fire on the would-be mass murderer only wounded him, after which he killed himself with his own handgun.

Yeah, I think that may be in error. I believe I remember an interview in which Ms. Hupp said (paraphrasing) that she wasn't a crack shot with her .380, but was fairly competent -- enough to do the job on the murdering POS, especially with the advantage of surprise.
This editorial mentions the Lubby's Cafeteria in Killeen, Texas shootings and states "[A] member of the US Olympic Shooting team ... had weapons in her car, but under Texas law, could not bring them into the establishment. She saw both of her parents and 22 others killed that day while she could not get to her guns."
