Is anyone really surprised by this? Perhaps GA should pass a law stating that the sun should rise in the West...that has about the same probability of success.
Banning guns has NEVER kept the bad guys from having guns to use on the good guys who don’t. Never has, never will.
Liberals hate freedom and love being victims. It’s their comfort zone. Besides, fewer guns = more crime. More crime = more victims = greater latitude to restrict freedom. Liberals are evil.
GA Tech is located in downtown Atlanta, near some high crime areas. The campus is open to the public but at least has some campus cops and numbers of people around. Walking through the outlying areas frome the MARTA station or even the Varsuty hamburger joint puts an unarmed potential victim at risk. Knowing the victim is unarmed is just a plus for the predator. Best solution, don’t go to GA Tech or go by car and leave before the night predators come out.
One common thread in these events, the perps fled on foot. Seems like shoe control is needed to stop crime in these Gun Free Zones.
Seriously, what do you do if your dwelling is within a thousand feet?
“Seriously, what do you do if your dwelling is within a thousand feet?....”
DO as the criminals do: IGNORE IT and don’t tell anyone!!!
If you need it, use it. Tried by 12 is a heckuva lot better than being lugged by 6.
“Liberals hate freedom and love being victims. It’s their comfort zone. Besides, fewer guns = more crime. More crime = more victims = greater latitude to restrict freedom. Liberals are evil....”
As said before: Liberalism is an evil insidious mental disease with no know cure. Years ago, those kinds of people used to be kept locked up in state institutions known as “nut houses”. They tried everything to cure em, including shock therapy...nothing helped. They are now out in society dictating social and political policy. They will get us all killed if allowed to have their way.
Imagine that! Criminals don't obey the law! Who'da THUNK it?
Worse yet: the GT campus butts right up alongside the massive I85/I75 freeway. Gotta wonder how many otherwise perfectly law-abiding citizens are unwittingly committing a punishable-by-10-years felony by merely driving from point A to B via passing the Varsity.
I have a carry license. My 14 year old daughter plays with the Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestra of Atlanta. They rehearse at a Georgia State University campus building on Sundays. There are times I have to park several blocks away and walk to meet her at the door. This law prevents me from carrying my pistol in a bad part of the city. I’ve been panhandled, but luckily nothing worse than that.
I’ve taken to circling the block over and over again until she calls. Then, she comes out when my car pulls up.
I have had Georgia concealed carry permit for the past 20 years. always carry concealed no matter where I am at, including when I’m at the GT campus.
The point of concealed carry is that no one should know you are carrying. I’m not a law breaker and never have been detained or searched by law enforcement.
Should I ever need to use my weapon in a “no carry’ zone, I rather have the option to try my case in court if charged than have my family and friends have to testify in court on my behalf at my killers sentencing hearing (if he would be caught at all).
The old “better tried by 12 than carried by 6” approach.
Boycot Goodyear if you are afraid of Gun Free Zones like I am. And take a second step ... tell them why.
Liberals are evil.
I used to think that they were either Insanely Stupid or Evil.
Recent evidence is starting to really support the Evil hypothesis.
I ignore those signs.....The only legal recourse the store owner has is to ask you to leave.
That stated, I also would not patronize that business and let the owner know why as well.
Great job! Goodyear can take their stinkin’ tires back up north....
“always carry concealed no matter where I am at, including when I’m at the GT campus.”
So the gun free zone rule don’t work for you neither. Not much point in having one other than to make theives and rapitists feel more comfortable is there.
It makes the lib's feel like they are doing something about it. In reality, they are making matters worse. But it how they feel about it that matters, not your life or freedom. Applies to lib's at a federal level as well.
It's not about you, it's about their feelings.
By the way, the Full Auto Ban Amendment to the 1986 “Firearms Owners Protection Act” never REALLY passed! And the BATF knows it. It was just on a voice vote, and the Nays WAY outweighed the Yeas on the Amendment’s adoption ballot! I heard it! Rep. Charles Rangel, D-NY, substituting for Tip O’Neil, just PROCLAIMED that it passed, to the GASPS of many in attendence, and the minority Repubs could not challenge him because of the parlimentary rules in effect at the time! HONEST! It is History!
