Fortunately I am not in the "untrained" demographic you are using to make your case....
Secondly, it matters not whether a perpetrator is Muslim looking, or an obsessive fashionista. What matters is the behavior of said person in determining whether a concealed weapon comes unholstered. Mine has never come out in civilian life, and I hope it never has to.
The great majority of deaths brought on by mass shooters or terrorists occur in the first six minutes of the onset. The best average response time of LEOs is 4 minutes. So your chances are better if a. you can run and escape, or b. you can fight back. Law enforcement has just changed its tune in the past three months with regards to recommending option b, as they previously only told you to call 911 and run. They know they can't protect you. So you might well be better off to get trained, armed, and carry.
