Anything else you take from my post is simply in your interpretation - not an implication.

One of the reasons I disagree with you, is because of the training most unarmed federal employees get = run, hide, fight - with fight being an extreme last resort. Another reason is, I personally do not expect anyone with (no tactical training, no weapons and) no good option past "get out" to do anything other than "get out" is, it is unreasonable. It is simply unreasonable to expect untrained, unarmed civilians to face an armed individual bent on doing harm to people - especially if those people have the option to flee and remove themselves from danger. People that do step up are to be commended, and recognized.

As for gratuitous insults, there are no insults in what I posted.
