Orlando massacre

[clint44]

The OKC bomber killed 168 people in a matter of seconds. If our country keeps going down its present path,we will revisit that horror. Our borders are way too porous. Obama and Clinton want it,that way.

I find it interesting that Democrats state that restricting guns is "common sense", while allowing guys to go into girls bathrooms and letting muslim refugee's into the country is "protecting rights". Just sayin'.

:Agree: IF only 1 person in that nite-club had been "carrying" a weapon, besides the gunman, perhaps less would have died.

Agree. In Texas we have a 51% law. If an establishment's income comes from 51% or more from sales of alcohol, then one is not allowed to carry their weapon into the premises.. The business must post a sign stating that it's income is derived from 51% or more of alcohol sales. Don't know what the Florida rule is about that. They might have something similar which would have prevented a LAW ABIDING citizen from taking a gun into the place. This rule probably keeps a club much safer but in this case - sure left those patrons like sitting ducks.

I've now heard that there was an armed private security guard on premises when it all went down.
Where the armed guard was, and what he/she did at the onset of the gunfire, is not known...

A friend of mine lived w-a-a-a-ay out in the country. Police response time was 20-30 minutes. Late one night, a truck with three men came up his driveway (about 1/4 mile from the highway). His dogs alerted him, he put his wife and two children in a bedroom, and picked up an SKS (semi-auto rifle used by the VC in Vietnam). He'd installed a 20 round magazine and let off ten rounds in quick succession. The truck hit a tree trying to get away and the men were arrested two towns over. Escapees from a county jail: one a murderer, another armed robbery, and the third sexual assault.

Names of "buddy" and criminals; town, county or state names; day, month and year.

Didn't think so.

I have a Florida CWL (we call it a Concealed Weapons License) and it is a felony for me to carry my firearm in a bar that serves only alcohol. I can carry in a restaurant like Applebee's, but I can't sit in the bar portion of the restaurant if I am carrying. I can, however, sit in the restaurant portion while carrying and drink to my heart's content. Makes perfect sense, eh?
