The Tulsa shooter: What did I just tell you?

Here we go again:



And before we hear any more of, "If only there had been good guys with guns, they could have stopped that bad guy with a gun," appreciate that Oklahoma is an open carry state:



which means that, legally, there was nothing anyone could do about a man walking into a hospital in Tulsa armed to the teeth as all of that was perfectly legal until the moment he opened fire.

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. I have plenty of problems with allowing police to carry firearms, there is no reason on earth that a civilian should ever need to carry them around - especially in an urban environment where the only thing you might ever be "hunting" are people.

  2. Well, I guess in the US what you could do if you're worried about a person who is legally open carrying is, spray paint them black. THEN call the police and say there's an armed black male . . .

    I can imagine the exchanges in an operating theatre in a Tulsa hospital:"Scalpel, nurse."
    "Scalpel, doctor"
    "Swabs, nurse."
    "Swabs, doctor."
    "Sutures, nurse."
    "Sutures, doctor."
    "Forty five Colt automatic, nurse..."
    Bang!
    "Beat you to it, doctor."
