Answer:
I believe that Dallas was both a positive and a negative influence on Johnny and Ponyboy. Although he was a bad person in general, he was there for the people he cared about when they needed him. That makes him a little misunderstood. He stood up for his friends and protected them. He even gave Johnny and Ponyboy the gun and money and helped them.
Even though there are ways Dally can be considered a good person, he could also be thought of as a bad one. Dally was always the one hitting on the girls. He did so many bad things and got caught by the police. Some of the things he was doing were illegal, and that's what ended up taking him in the end. He did good things for the ones he loved, but not so much for anyone else.
Dally is a pretty complex character, so there are many ways to perceive his actions. Sometimes the good overcomes the bad with ones actions. Other times it doesn't. But sometimes, like in this case, it's pretty even.
