6:07PM EST September 29. 2012 - A gunman who killed five people and injured three others at a small Minneapolis sign company before taking his own life had been fired that morning,according to local media.Typical mass shooting with no regard for whether the place was a gun free zone or not. His only consideration was that this was the place of his grievance.
The dead included company founder Reuven Rahamim, who founded the small company, Accent Signage Systems, which makes interior signs for companies and industries.
The gunman died of a self-inflicted gunshot in the company's basement.
What's your opinion?
Carrying a handgun isn't a guarantee of safety. It's a means of improving the odds. Someone with a concealed weapon there might have settled this wacko's grievance much sooner. As things stand, it's an illustration of what happens when only one person is armed.
ReplyDeleteThis case supports my assertion that banning people from carrying at work does nothing to stop a determined killer.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, it does a wonderful job of making the nice employees defenseless.

ReplyDeleteCould very well be. Either way, it means that gun-free zones are a fallacy and there is no rational reason for them.
