The average gun permit holder doesn't want to kill anybody. There would be a lot of yelling but chances are nobody would be killed accidently. Without a weapon or other means to defend yourself you may as well lay down and die, or hope that somebody around you has a weapon to save you. Police officers run into this problem somewhat often and it is rare for them to shoot the wrong person.
You would probably have a little more time than a 1/2 second also.
