Gunman Kills 11 in a "GUN FREE ZONE" and one outside
I understand the stories of the survivors hiding and barricading doors to separate themselves from the shooter and I would have done what I thought prudent at that time to help insure my safety and that of others. Instead of run, hide, and fight why don't politicos who pass these silly feel-good laws and ordinances wake up and smell the roses? Had workers in the building had the option to carry firearms, this tragedy probably would have turned out very differently. It might not have even happened. Knowing that potentially everyone in a building might be packing heat would be a deterrent as opposed to knowing that most folks are going to obey the signage on the door and leave their guns in their cars. As always the signs had zero effect on the gunman. All Virginia Beach municipal buildings are "GUN FREE ZONES".
I think of the old meme that states something like "when you need a gun and don't have one, remember the police are minutes away".
Gun Free Zones= Death
ReplyDeleteThis will disappear from the MSN fairly quickly. The shooter, DeWayne Craddock, doesn't fit the agenda of the anti-gun crowd. The shooter was a 40 year old black man who purchased his guns legally, was registered as a democrat and had no criminal or mental health issues in his background checks.
ReplyDeletePrayers go out for the families of his victims. Gun-free zones need to be done away with.
Check that - he had mental issues. He registered as a Democrat.
DeleteWhen seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
ReplyDeleteYou are correct tsquared. I carry concealed wherever I go and do my damnedest to avoid any place with a wand or walk through metal detector.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that the laws that stop people from protecting themselves have absolutely no effect on the criminals.
ReplyDeleteConsidering that this was a government building, the employees should not be armed. Citizens should be armed, not government employees.
ReplyDeleteThat is the one I was thinking of Edward. Thanks.
