'I didn't get a good feeling about him': Oregon college shooter was turned away from California firearms academy by an instructor who found him 'too anxious to get high-level training'

-- Chris Harper-Mercer murdered nine people and injured nine others at Umpqua Community College in Roseberg on Thursday

-- In 2012 or 2013 he tried to register for high-level firearms training at a private self-defense and law enforcement academy in Torrance, California

-- Elon Way, the president and head instructor, said he refused to take a beginner safety course and seemed 'spoiled, immature'

-- Harper-Mercer's mother Laurel Harper spoke out on Facebook in the past about her support of open-carry laws in Oregon

Thanks,was not aware of this.

Good move by the owner/instructor.

Apparently his mother preferred to take him to firing ranges with lax observation of shooters.
