Recommending that random untrained people go around armed is a recipe for disaster (see: ICE’s random untrained people going around armed). It’s irresponsible, at best.

You both make good points, but prevention is better than de-escalation or alerting. Being known as protected is ala preventative measure.
Of course alarms/monitoring and response (de-escalation) are very important. But stopping it before it starts should get attention as well.

3D printed whistles are a cheap and easy aid. Every bit of resistance helps.
