Think of the security that our Congresscritters have-both federal and state.”””

IIRC, there are only 7 CCW permits issued in the City of San Fran. 6 of those belong to DI FI & her bodyguards.

YOU are exactly correct. The ACLU bears some of the responsibility for all of this. They pressured Reagan to close the mental hospitals.

Communists on the left wanted to use 'mental issues' as a way to nullify the votes of the American people when Trump was elected. Remember how the left said he was not mentally 'fit' to be President? That's a classic Russian communist tactic.

Our liberal Deep State - if run by Hillary - would use that same tactic against 'the deplorables'... Strip us of our rights based on being 'not mentally fit'...

There are solutions to these problems - we know that because we did NOT have school shooters anywhere in our history before Columbine.

Also there are NOT school shooters in other countries. It's unique to the United States - - and on some levels that's irrational. Giving into forming a "Russian style police state' in response to this aberration is NOT the answer.

Safe to say, CA as a state is finished.

BINGO! The winning post!

The ironic thing is that the FL shooting took place not just on Valentine’s Day but also the start of the Christian Lent, starts with Ash Wednesday.

The attacker gets to choose what weapons he brings, and how much ammo, and what tactics he/she is going to employ.

Responding police to a significant extent will, when they arrive, generally have that option as well.

The defender has to grab what is at hand, and will want the most versatile weapon possible - which includes sufficient ammo to give him/her options.

Regardless of the "rules", I think I'd be carrying. Better to face the possible consequences of breaking a rule, than face sure termination by a shooter.

Generically carrying in that environment makes it orders of magnitude more likely that you will be sent to jail, your belongings taken from you, and your family's reputation ruined, than it will be you'll face a shooter.

You, they want to stop.
