what is the basis for your argument that people would have panicked and forgotten their guns?

Tom just gave an example of a man who used a legally carried gun to stop an armed robber. Why do you believe anyone with a gun would have panicked in that situation? I know if I had been in that theater I would have wanted to able to shoot back.
Do you have strong feelings/opinions about gun control?
