Not everyone who has a concealed weapons permit is qualified to stop an attack in a school or other public place. I'm sure that there are people who could prevent an assault by "cowardly criminals" and they may have a concealed weapon in public. But those people who have guns don't know how to use them properly in an attack and don't understand how to fight back properly.

Maybe it wouldn't be such a problem to have weapons in schools if permit holders had to go through rigorous training, like the police or FBI.
