So, the only way to intelligently defend yourself, others around you, is to pull your gat and empty your magazine at whatever’s in front of you?

I’m sorry for your bad experience. It’s a hard thing to watch someone die, there is nothing glamorous or noble about it. It’s just dead.
Though, several times more people die due to automotive related incidents than die from gun related ones, but I assume you’re still driving.

Would you or wouldn't you? If you were at VT or NIU, you were armed, and someone entered your classroom and started shooting would you fire back or not?

Far to situation dependent to give a conclusive yes or no.
If the situation presented itself so that I could blow psycho away without injuring someone else, yes. But a lot more goes into pulling a trigger than just the mechanical response of your index finger twitching and if you have no experience or training with firearms, I wouldn’t expect you to know that.
