Really ??? I got my CT license in about 3 weeks, and I live in NY. Didn’t have to go through the locals, but is it really that different for residents ?

Obviously if his coworkers and employer had a problem with him, their concerns were justified.

Too many black people have a permanent chip on their shoulders.

Yep basically another Odumbo supporter gone wild. We can ask, What makes liberals so violent? Why do Democratic voters hate so much, and why do they kill?

"...or else be liable for any murders that take place..."

Wtf? Are you nuts? You are advocating blaming a business owner for a murder committed by an employee? How about we blame the perp??? How's that for a novel idea? Better yet, how about we build more prisons and when we catch these felonious creeps we lock them up! How about our judicial system doing it's job to protect law abiding citizens!!!

Our country has become too complacent and complicit to growing violence rates. Enough is enough. We need to quit assigning blame where it's not deserved and law abiding people need to speak up, voice their opinions and go to the polls to take our country back.

My Lord...it's like the wild, wild west out there these days. And it's become acceptable! I remember a day when a murder was a big deal...well, not anymore. We're completely desensitized...in a bad, bad way.

We all just need to carry the problem will sort itself out. In the end we will have law-abiding secure citizens who won’t tolerate this BS.

We really have no choice now our DOJ is selectively enforcing laws, etc...in fact this shooter was a fool to off himself I am sure Holder would have jumped in provided a defense attorney for him.

We are witnessing the theater of the abusrd now...

I said punish them only if they put bans on worker safety when they have CCW laws. They should be as liable as if they had no fire exits/alarms and the place burns down. IMO, it’s basic negligence.

“I don’t think any of the posters on this thread need to “race” it up, leave that to the SanFransico Chronicle they seem to be doing a fine job of it.”

What a Black “Star Employee” Can’t follow rules and Whites get shot OK.

MANCHESTER, Conn. (AP) — A black warehouse driver who had complained of racial harassment at work went on a shooting rampage at a beer distributorship Tuesday after he was asked to quit, killing eight people before apparently committing suicide, authorities said.

AP is getting ready to REMOVE the reference to the man’s race...see link below with UPDATE

Permits? Don’t forget, ZERO got his Social Security Number from Connecticut. This workplace would make an excellent location for his next beer summit!

What are the chances “race” would be removed were it a white shooter and the victims were black?

Just asking.
