This part really got my attention (from the CNN article):
"He indicated also in that letter that he expected to be there shooting people until the police arrived and he fully expected to be killed by the responding police," Owen said.
Props to those who finally overpowered him instead of just running.
Agreed.
If the "letter" is proven to be accurate and from the shooter, it sounds like the lunatic
expected no resistance from those inside the chuch. Is it possible, he thought it would be a "GUN FREE ZONE"?:shock:
Also, seems like a good example of why this one(that we see repeated on this forum a lot) is right on the money:
When seconds count, the Police are only minutes away.
Personally, I do not believe that State legislators should be making any laws regarding what security measures can be taken by Churches, synagogues, etc. Each religious establishment should be allowed to decide, for itself, what it allows or not(armed security, carry by worshippers, etc.). Then the members of the congregation can decide, for themselves, individually, whether or not they wish to attend that house of worship. Freedom to choose is what freedom is all about. No choices = no freedom.
