I would not be surprised to see legislation expanding 626.9 to cover preschools next.

Hopefully we get incorporation first, and 626.9 can be laid to rest in the dumpster.

this is tragic--but I must ask the serious question--it is against the law to carry a loaded gun without a permit in CA, and permits are next to impossible to get as I understand it, so how did this happen?

Well, I think it's fairly obvious - he found a loophole in the law. We'd better figure out what it is so we can have the state legislature close it.

The loop hole is as follows: The shooter was most likely a low life thug that doesnt follow laws. therefore nothing was stopping him from carrying illegallyin the first place. Or from shooting someone.

Criminals don't care about laws, see ... they just do what they want, and, if you are not armed, you will suffer. I hope this answers your naive query.
