Good point re: Wendy’s shooting which was also in Florida, one of many states where citizens can carry weapons for self-defense. But apparently ther was no one armed there (other than this deranged criminal) and I wonder if that Wendy’s management allows their employees who have Florida permits to carry? Oftentimes, companies enforce their employees to be unarmed. I would never work in a fast-foot place and especially at late at night closing time.

Prozac?

Actually, the host mentioned mental illness and drugs.

People are getting it. The “legal-guns-in-the-hands-of-law-abiding-citizens-are-the-cause-of-violence” meme is crumbling.

Ron; The Wendys was not a GFZ (to perhaps coin an acronym) in any legal or house-rules sense– it’s just that no one there was equipped to respond with force before it was over. One could make the case however, that the Wendys shooting was quite different from a school shooting in that the killer did not have the leisurely, shoot, reload, shoot, reload, shoot opportunity that he would have had in a GFZ, and the death toll was therefore less.
