Liar! Everybody knows that guns are not allowed in Post offices, ditto college campuses and shopping malls!

This story is clearly untrue.

My bet is that the criminal in this incident didn't see the "No Weapons Allowed" sign. After all, criminals follow the rules like the rest of us and this poor guy just didn't see the sign. At least that's what the Bradys/Antis would want us to believe.

Or maybe he could not read Ingles
Or maybe he could not read proper English (Ebonics)

I just find it hard to believe that there was a shooting in a post office. First time for everything I guess.

Maybe going forward, such random acts of violence in a post office will be called "Going Mail-carrier?" I don't know if that's catchy enough though...

Irony aside ... it's pretty sad that these victims probably felt safe because of the no-weapons policy as do most people that work in such an environment. Too bad there are too few policy makers that can tell the difference between feeling safe and being safe. The gun on your hip might not change what the bad guy chooses to do but it sure gives you a better chance (at least a fighting one) than nothing at all.

Not just inside the post office. One of the residents of the town is quoted saying. "I just couldn't believe it, not in this town," Hennings said. "It's too quiet."

Thus leads me to believe that the majority of the town thinks/belives/feels that nothing bad can happen in their little town.

It takes a LCE (life changing event) to see the light. The solo surviver did get a LCE but I don't think it will be enough to reserve the laws on the books.

trust me, I work at a post office, everyone knows that the law is only followed by lawabiding people, if someone is going to come-in, then they are going to come-in, they lock all the front doors, but leave the entire truck terminal side wide open, no guards at enterences or exits, oh but we have a nickle and dime security guard that sleeps in the parking lot, the joke is when we see him that we feel much more secure now, NO we can't bring our guns to work with us, that just keeps a few of us looking even more for people that we don't know, and by the way we don't get our stamps for free either

trust me, I work at a post office,....and by the way we don't get our stamps for free either

But, but ya get to go "Postal" while the rest of us are just called "crazy gunperson".

Ive been retired 9 years from the post office, we were not able to have firearms in the parking lot.We had not had security for years befor that.Anyone could walk in the front door or loading docks.

What better way is there for perps to divert attention off themselves? Point at labeled gun owners.

Why?!

Why is it that in so many threads that RACISM rears it's ugly little head?

Maybe the guys who did it were WHITE RURAL guys. Is there any evidence to believe otherwise? Not every crime that is committed is done by blacks or Mexicans.

Aren't you a "brown" person, jediagh? Sorry if I'm wrong but I thought I remember you saying that on here before. The saying goes "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".

Yes finity I an brown (ie. of Mexican descent). The little green smile at the end of my text was put there to show I was making fun of what woodrow posted about the "no gun sign". Perhaps I should of added the purple like I do 95% of the time but every now and then I get lazy to use the purple.

Hmm. this is another reason I carry just about EVERYWHERE.
Up the ass with BS buisness policies, These thugs didnt give a squat about the rules so why should I be defenseless. I will face the charges if I saved mylife and possibly others, after the ordeal is over.

If a thug hold his pistol to anyones head in that P.O
By god,
me and 16 of my closest friends and ZERO postal workers will help me survive a little better in this situation.

I wonder what would happen if you did stop a shooting in a post office? Would you get charged and get a federal record ... I bet you would. Sad to say.
