Reason 3: Even though the police were there within a minute, the killer still had the time to kill 5 because none of the victims was carrying.
In the immediate scene of violence the only thing that can stop a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun. It is that damn simple. The police due to location and training were on the scene within a minute. They did good. But five people died because they did not have weapons to defend themselves.
Gun free zones are actually a free fire zone for bad guys. I always carry anyplace it is legal. If I were in that newspaper office I would not have been carrying because it would have been illegal. I would have just been another victim instead of a defender.
I wondered the same thing, 50mm.
I always carried during my newspaper days, and locked the piece in my desk if I had to visit one of the schools. Otherwise, I was ready to become part of the story if the need arose.
But then again, I’m not a pinko with Democrap loyalties. Nope.
