Shocking Study Reveals Armed Civilians Stops Active Shooters More Effectively Than Police

About this video

Colion examines a study by John Lott and Carlo Moody analyzing active shooter incidents from 2014 to 2022, arguing that armed civilians stop active shooters more effectively than uniformed police officers. He presents what he describes as five key advantages of armed civilians, including their immediate presence, concealment advantage, and what the study reportedly shows as better outcomes in terms of casualties and accuracy. Colion frames this as a data-driven case for expanding concealed carry rights in public spaces.

Key takeaways

• Colion argues that armed civilians have a tactical advantage because they are already present when an incident begins, while police must respond and travel to the scene
• According to Colion’s analysis of the study, uniformed officers are visible targets that shooters can identify and avoid, whereas concealed carriers provide an element of surprise
• Colion reports that the study found armed civilians stopped more active shooters (179 vs 158) and were associated with significantly fewer deaths and injuries compared to police responses, though he notes police typically arrive to already-worse situations
