The guy killed at UT today needed a gun.
He didn't have one, and it might have saved his life.
If that's the argument you want to present: In his situation, a shield would have been a lot more helpful. There is absolutely no law against people carrying shield.

I bet he had a backpack, which may have acted as a shield.
Having a shield only keeps you safe if you can fend off the attacker continuously while waiting for help.
A gun can permanently stop an attack.
You can blow your rape whistle and hope for help if you'd like, but I'll stop an attack on me.
