And when the haves and have-nots are BOTH "armed to the teeth" time to look up "the receipt for disaster".
........And would it be too compulsive of me to mention, once again, the NEED locally for more Police and Crime surveillance equipment? just wonder if enough people are aware of the crime and other problems created by a vanishing middle-class?
How would "more Police and Crime surveillance equipment" have prevented this from happening?

Police response times are measured in minutes. Sometimes a whole lot of minutes. Incidents where people die or are horribly injured because of crime are often over in seconds. Other than posting a cop in every restaurant around closing time, there would appear to have been no way that a cop could have gotten on the scene before what happened, happened.

If the information in Post #269 is correct, then there are several people who may well owe this legally- and responsibly-armed citizen a debt of gratitude. One person died. The innocent ones lived.
