Hey Dawn, How was everyone in there supposed to know he did not have weapons? He might as well have, the damage has been done. These people will be traumatized for a long time. You say, "If a scared volunteer had been carrying a gun, someone may have died." Oh well. He would have died, end of incident. He went in making people think he had weapons, they shoot him, they are justified.

The guy didn't actually have a weapon. If a scared volunteer had been carrying a gun, someone may have died.

Seems to me this is a perfect reason we need to live and love the Second Ammendment, without the ability for the LAW ABIDING CITIZEN feeling free and safe to live life and all it has to offer including the ability to go to ones Campaign Hq then there is no reason to have the other ammendments. If someone in the Hq. had been trained and licensed to carry this incident could have come to a quick conclusion, what if the person had been a terriost with real bad intentions? Is it worth the loss of inocent life to let only terriost, nutcases like this person or derranged to illegaly carry? Support the 2nd Ammendment!! It may save yours or your loved ones life.
