It may be me but I always avoid sitting with my back against an entry point when I go to a resteraunts or bars. I like to sit where I can see the entry and exit and I look at people when the enter especially. If I can find a wall that where I sit and usually looking at the entrance. When I go to a hotel room I always look around and especially under the bed while my wife if Lysoling the bed cover. The only thing I really have to add is if I saw an individual enter a place I was eating or drinking and start shooting I know I wouldn't hesitate for a moment to use whatever means I had available to cease the engagement even if I were not party to it assuming of coarse he wasn't wearing a uniform that would cause me to pause.
Perhaps I am paranoid but I always try to sum up the people in my surroundings when I am in public and I have been right when trouble is about to start. It's happened several times although not life threatening that people I have a sense about start getting physical. One person with a gun in this case may not have prevented all the fatalities but he may have prevented some or one. People that do these types of crimes are not snipers and they are not gun enthuiest. There is a big difference between being in a place where you are not likely to encounter any resistance and being in a place where you have to focus on the targets and the surroundings.
We live in a country where many people think that only the police and military should carry weapons. Let me say without reservation that I do no concur with that rational and I don't look good as a chalk line.
