Oklahoma beheading
 
Oh, we have so much to discuss on this one gentlemen. We are probably going to need several threads to cover all aspects.
-how quickly a convert to Islam can be radicalized, especially when they have a propensity toward violence.
-a company's rights to not hire based on the individual's legal history
-the value of having concealed (or open) carry employees in the workplace.

I'm sure there are more I'm not thinking of, and some yet to bubble up.

It wasn't an act of domestic terrorism. It was "workplace violence." :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, I forgot. And it was very careless to be firing a gun in a building full of people. Some innocent bystander could have been shot!

Too bad that wasn't an option at the Murrah building in OK City.

Still on the fence on the wisdom of cc vs the crossfire of a public place shootout by careless inexperienced persons.
Down here the qualifications for cc are about as stringent as for causing a pregancy.

What are the "qualifications" "down there" for grabbing a knife and beheading middle age women?

Same as anywhere for any reason. Same as taking a bang bang anywhere and drilling people you don't like or randomly just anyone and everyone with it.

Haaaa.....ok!
That is a lot like a "pregancy", I suppose, now that you mention it.

So, the first and hopefully the only, place this occurs is;

Oklahoma?

I guess a Red State full of gun-toting yahoo Biblethumpers really isn't all that immune from such things after all?

Who could have guessed?

Right, no reason or plan required, just the urge to do the deed.

Luckily that COO who really really wanted to shoot someone, found a guy who needed to be shot.

Pio1980 09-27-2014 06:55 PM

I'm going to let this rest for now, I don't want to be flip about a serious responsibility like carrying and using a ccw anywhere and particularly in a public setting.

Now I coulda swore the news said that the gentlemen who shot the offender also works part time as a cop. If that's the case then it May Be possible that he was required to act whether on duty or not. Note that I said ''May Be'', because I don't know how things work in Oklahoma.

My dad has been in law inforcement since 1978 and was sworn in from day one to protect people from harms way anywhere in the state if he see's something bad going down on duty or not even though he was only a ''city'' cop when first sworn in.

Zeke 09-27-2014 11:26 PM

If you're a sworn officer, you're never truly off duty. (In fact, many jurisdictions require that you be armed at all times.)

It's part and parcel of what makes the lifestyle so difficult.

Imagine going to a baseball game "in town" and instead of having a beer and watching the action, you have to pay more attention to the drunk clown in front of you trying to incite a riot due to inebriated idiocy.

If the only place you can truly relax is 1K miles away from your home, you don't have a home.
