I just turned off my TV in disgust, after watching part of a local press conference w/ the FW Police Chief. Once again, the first question asked by the media was, "What caliber of weapon was it, and was it obtained legally?" The very next question was," Did the gunman have the right to carry a concealed handgun?" Answers: Yes, guns were obtained legally, the caliber was.380, and no, it doesn't look like he had a CHL.
Then, cut to shot of Ms. Reno, spouting off that America needs to look at how we handle guns (among other things). THEN, another cut to our fearless[sarcasm] XO (Gore), saying something about how the gun laws have allowed a flood of weapons on the market to fall into the hands of people who shouldn't have them....
Danger Dave, Solo,
Y'all are right on target, too many of these incidents have occurred at deemed "safe zones." I don't know what to make of it.
It's sad that no one in that building was armed. Like Long Path said, I'd rather die blazing away, than cowering in the pew. When my CHL comes in, my gun will be with me at all times, even during church services.

"First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin, then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch
towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it." The Book of Armaments CH 2, vs.9-21
