People tend to blame government for making it hard to be armed legally when the truth is that in much of our country its what the vast majority want. For whatever reason they believe they are safer to depend entirely on LE. In this case LE was there in a quick hurry but we all know they can not always do that and a few of them will likely hide in a parking lot. Danny is correct. It seems to that an ever increasing number of our population is far removed from the idea of taking care of ones self and family. You see examples throughout society. People are under the foolish perception that someone else should care for them and protect them all of the time. Yes we need good police forces and military. No question about that. But it is probably time that people return to the American roots that suggest one is responsible for ones self and ones family. Mac

At some point we as a society lost the mentality of community. Most people don't even know their neighbors. My neighbors know me and know I will watch out for them.

Good job by LE ,And BS on hiding in the parking lot ,very few would do that! You miss the point. The cops did a great job and 3 people still died. Can't fault the police for that because that's probably about as quick a response time as you'll ever get. No, it's not BS that cops have hidden or purposely not engaged the shooter in some of these incidents, it's not the norm by any means, but it has happened. Parkland and Aurora come to mind. I'm not willing to throw the dice with my family at stake. Relying on the police to protect you and your family can get you killed, you are already at the scene when these things happen, usually the police aren't and the bad guys have free reign till the police can get there. That's why I take responsibility for taking care of my families safety.

Sheepdog its a shame you need to do that. As for me I will avoid gun free zones like the plague.
Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
