I do see your point though.. I don't agree with all gun laws like the one here in AZ that anyone can CC without a permit (real limited as to where you can but still possible). I think only trained individuals such as military and LE as well as those who have taken the CC course should be allowed to carry. I'd feel very uncomfortable in a situation like that and some half wit just decides to play one man army and try to take someone out and possibly injure a bystander in the process. But I can also see the other side of the spectrum and if more people were allowed to carry it might discourage those who have plans like this.. it's a twisted world we live in.
Think I'll avoid IHOP restaurants for a while....

Nope. I tend to do all my riding out here in the Desert West.....
Sad event.
We must remember Tekken that the worst mass murder in US history was perpetrated by a guy with one dollars worth of gasoline.
He poured it on the front door of a nightclub where his girlfriend was supposedly at, lit it up and killed almost 100 people.
My point is that it is the potential wacko we need to address here and not the article they use. This guy had past mental issues that like many others slipped thru the cracks until this happened. As long as we cannot see the future or look into people's minds to see what they are thinking about I'll take my chances by carrying a firearm for self defense of myself and others. I consider my abilities with firearms a gift and would do my best without concern for my own safety to help others in need.

I live in Carson City, was en route to do some shopping at 9:15am (mere minutes after the shooting) and was turned away by a developing road block. I saw LEOs everywhere, sirens from left and right. At the time, I hadn't a clue as to what was going down and ended up turning around and heading in the opposite direction, then hearing about it on a news bulletin on the radio.
My son and I have eaten in that IHOP many times in the past and I can see in my minds eye the large L shaped booth in the SE corner of the restaurant where those National Guardsmen were sitting.
How tragic. You know what really gets me? That SOB was not even a US citizen but was drawing down a Social Security disabilty check for $923/month. Didn't sound like he was too 'disabled' to me!!

there's no point in avoiding any place due to this. The bottom line is.... This World we live in is getting more and more and MORE evil every minute of every day. No place is secure, no place is safe. every Country on this Planet from the Smallest to um.... yes to the Greatest.
No Country is "safe" anymore it seems

When it's your time. It's your time !!! Now I bet there is going to be some New Feel Good law that is going to be passed because of this incident in Nevada that makes the rest of the Law abiding gun owners pay. Meanwhile the Criminals are stockpiling there weapons. Prayers sent to the Family and Friends of the Victims

I recently went with a friend to purchase a motorcycle in a large city. I felt slightly better seeing a residential address than a parking lot, but I would have felt a lot better knowing that I had a sidearm with me, since we had over 8k in cash with us.
But since I live in the Peoples Republik of Illinois, I cannot legally carry a gun on my person, even though I am required to do so when escorting a prisoner to court..........
