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".
