Because they froze, they were scared. You need to be trained to react like that. Think about what someone does when you come up behind them and scare them...the freeze. Do the same to an animal and what do they do? They run. It’s instinct. And, the only thing that overcomes instant is training. Decades in the military taught me this.

I didn't get decades, I got a tiny bit of State Guard training. Not even close to enough.

However, I do have an interesting personal characteristic, brought on by years in the illicit drug world (when I had yet to 12 Step, and recover from the hopeless state of mind and body).

I don't scare. People try to surprise me and generally, I look at them cooly and assess what to do next. In a crisis, I tend to go all logical and emotionless.

I like to think I'm the one guy in a crowd that, even lacking military training, might actually be able to act, and reasonably effectively for a civilian.

Numerous times I have had guns drawn on me. I don't panic.

Am I deluding myself or do I have a shot?

Ping to the above. You seemed to think I might make it.

The Sig Sauer MCX rifle that Omar used could be loaded with 30 round clips. Lots of damage could be done without reloading. However, a pocket pistol in the hands of a good shooter could have stopped Omar cold with one bullet. For the money, I would buy a couple good shooters. Employ them as part of the staff.

Technically an assault rifle has to be select-fire, not just full auto.

What I don't understand....no one rushed him. How can that be??

What I don't understand is how come nobody shot back at him as soon as he opened fire?

You can’t reload a magazine and still keep firing at people.

I just noticed the photo with the (gun free zone) sticker on the door.

I wish that photo (sticker) was made a bit easier to see. Then I wish it was posted all over the internet.

I’ll bet you’re not as fast as I am. I can run completely around the world and punch myself in the back of the head.

I ate one of those 72 oz steaks in Amarillo in 45 minutes and spent the first half hour banging a waitress.

I sleep with a pillow under my gun. I win staring contests with the Sun. I can make french fries by throwing potatoes through a chainlink fence. My doctor told me I was made of anti-matter.

But enough about me. Let’s talk about my three-headed dog, Cerebus. He has two wieners. He speaks four languages. He ....

” They will simply reply that whatever was used in there club and whatever looks military is the issue.”

I have a friend that put a fiberglass replica body of a Porsche speedster on an VW Beetle frame. Looks just like James Dean’s speedster but,,, is it a Porsche? Nope! Not even close! Fun car though.

The ultimate soft target. A gay bar where they lack the testosterone to fight back.

I've known people like that. They don't scare easily and are usually serious types, men and women alike...... 🙅

It would be except for that FBI agents unattractive rear which sort of ruins the photo.

I think the FBI evidence collector tagging bullet holes adds even more irony to the photo.
