Shooting at Mall in Kingston
I am not sure anything could or would have prevented this but for starters someone with a gun could have put this sick individual to sleep before he was able to do as much damage as he did. Could have saved the tax payers a LOT of money in legal and confinement costs.
One small but VERY important point I would like to clarify. To my knowledge this sicko did NOT use an "assault weapon" to shoot up the mall. Any assault weapon is a selectable fire fully automatic (machine gun) firearm which is already controlled under Title II of the National Firearms Act NFA.
The most important issue I would like to point out here is the issue is most certainly NOT the weapon used.............it is the nut that's pulling the trigger.

Murf, StephenR, and my Cummins Brother AV8R, truly men after my own heart! Stephen, I got one HUGE laugh out the spare tire analogy! However, a VERY true and accurate one.
I have undergone the concieled carry training and requirements in my state. I carry everywhere I go. The concieled carry permit does NOT give you the authority to make a law enforcement intervention. Let me be VERY clear on this. In most states that allow concieled carry; you may use lethal force IF you or someone around you is in "JEOPARDY" (this is a key legal word and condition) and imminent danger of being seriously harmed. In some, states you have a duty to retreat if able to do so. TN does not require this but does the rest of the above. Bottom line, let it pass, walk away, run away, do what you have to in order to get away from the threat. IF unable to do so and you are in jeopardy and imminent danger or serious harm......then you can fire. Otherwise you could be prosecuted and in any case expect to get sued. But it is better to get sued and still be breathing. The old addage of " better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6.

Ann, these city people as well as others of the socio-economic status you were referring to ARE already armed. The jails are full. The courts are full. A policeman on every corner is not possible, nor would I want that if it were. That is why many folks are arming themselves.

NHDaveD, I second StephenR's reply. I am a Benefactor Life Member of the NRA and have been a member for over 25 years. The NRA does a LOT of very important political lobbying to protect our 2nd, 4th, and 5th ammendment rights not to mention offer some very good benefits in addition to their monthing magazines. They offer a very reasonably priced excess liabiltity insurance for hunting AND self defense. The NRA also works very hard to protect hunting in general. I would urge you to join up now. We need all of the supporters we can muster.
