She was a 12 year veteran. I'm sure she had been trained along the way to handle a 9mm Beretta. She was not the first one killed. I think, had she been carrying, the death toll would have been much lower.

We are too simple minded to take care of ourselves, that's why there are seat belt laws, helmet laws, laws against smoking pot, etc. Big Brother will protect us. The fact that this woman was a twelve year military veteran who I guess, was technically part of the government is irelevant.
Quit asking questions, once Hillary takes over she'll know what to do. The criminals will meekly had over their weapons once they know she's in charge, and once every last one of those criminal mother fuckers turns over their guns, then maybe I'll turn in mine.
... always go on record with your local police as to whether you want the toe tag applied with a twisty tie or a rubber band. Then when your time comes, your wishes will be carried out diligently by those who serve and protect. Mostly serve toe tags, but lets not be sticklers.
Some people are allergic to rubber, that's why the twisty tie option is offered.
shoulda had a 6-gun on each hip, and 2 shoulder holsters.
Well, the guy was carrying a shotgun too, so everybody needs to be able to outgun that. A knockoff AK should be good enough for that, except that the criminals will get the AKs too, so you really need covering fire whenever you walk in the door.
But everybody knows, DON'T GO IN THE DOOR! Throw a grenade in the window, and follow after. Or just slap a shaped charge up against the wall, and follow the blast.
See what happens to you when you aren't carrying!! Always move in squad patrols with at least an MG section covering. You never know when some Chinaman or Mussleman or even Mexican might be around the corner.
You're asking the wrong question. You should asking why someone someone with a history of mental illness was allowed to by a gun in violation of the Brady law? Haven't heard yet whether the gun shop was to blame or if the shooter was included in the database to be prevented from buying weapons.
I always carry my AK, even if I've never been to class.
If everybody had enough AKs, and grenades, and RPGs and T-72s, we'd have a polite society. That's what's important, so nobody interrupts me.
Yes,just like Iraq, where everybody DOES have an AK (courtesy of both Saddam AND Bush!) and life is soooo polite.
Just remember to apply your litle piece of logic and see how far it gets you or how long you stay alive.
BTW, neither he nor the gun shop violated any laws, since he was self committed for his illness. There was never any court order nor doctor's commitment, at least that's what the local news has been saying.
How ironic that you are seriously agreeing with GAGambler's sarcasm above.
and you haven't committed yourself for your mental illness, so you should carry a case of grenades to work, in case somebody tries to pull something. I feel a lot safer lugging our AKs around in case somebody goes off. Ya always gotta prevent the other guy from killing you by getting off the 1st burst.
I'm sure gonna take my AK to work today. Fucking nannies think I'm crazy, I'll show them!!
1st, there are no standards for mental illness. It exists when a shrink says it does, and many shrinks are willing to diagnose people they have NEVER MET.
2nd, various medical privacy laws will get in the way. Maybe they should.
The fact is that we've had maybe 5 big media shootings in 10 years. They are MEDIA EVENTS, news precisely because they attract attention, not necessarily statistically significant.
Most involve people who had no prior records, and could never have been deterred, as they were willing to save the last rounds for themselves, or commit "suicide by police action".
All the ant-terrorist security shit is INCREDIBLY expensive in terms of lost time and effort. If we're going to improve, we gotta know when to cut people loose, and not try to save *every* pathetic parasite. Hawkings and polio crippled neurologists we save. Gangbangers go to labor camps to be redeemed by labor - like they do in Virginia, except that private profit isn't justified when these assholes owe the public. Plantations were eliminated 140 years ago, but some states just can't let go.
that any wolf can gain access into.
Laying his gun down because he was entering a "gun free zone". Who thinks up this stupid shit? I'd like to blame the lefties, it just sounds like the dumb "feel good" shit that they would come up with, but it was Nancy Reagan that cme up with the equally stupid "Just say no" campaign.
Stupidity obviously crosses party lines.
decided to pick up drugs,
"gun free zones", as you point out, envisions some wacked out criminal staying away from schools becasue of the sign....
one has far more probability of success than the other..
One is naive, while the other is just plain fucking stupid. I feel so much better now. lol
It reminds me of the South Park episode "butt out" where the boys took up smoking because the anti smokers were so lame.
Why won't you answer?
do you suppose they'll find somebody to blame?!
Concealed carry laws are governed by state and local statutes not ferderal laws. If you care to blame my very own Governor GoBlowYerself and his oh so very liberal state legislature, then you'd be getting closer to the answer.
We do have gun laws, except for the federal ones pushed on us, that are reasonably based in common sense.
JackO might have a problem getting a carry permit here(rightly so because of his obvious mental condition), but the rest of the law abiding community would have little problem getting a CW permit.
he doesn't fuck around, he'd have you all outgunned, and y'all don't like too much competition from the non-inbred Yanquis!
