I aways think that I should be able to carry in the post office since a employee might go postal. BTW I was very well aquanted with the guy that caused the term going postal. We went to high school together and he was in my motorcycle store about a week before and was telling me about trouble he was having at work. You can imagine my shock when he did something about it.
Pat was a known nutburger - one of his victims attended my church. My fellow congregation member came to family fellowship after Sunday services and had made passing references about Pat and his nutburger ways. Until it happened, nobody really understood workplace violence.
That's another reason to carry. Prejudice in the federal work area due to mandates dictated that a sector of society will be promoted over others who earned it already (women and minorities). The victim levels the playing field with his gun from his car, and you must witness this or wait your turn to be shot unarmed.
I’m from Edmond! Graduated Edmond High in 1979. I believe I was living in Austin, TX when the shooting occurred. I lived off 33rd and Coltrane. :)
I hit post too fast. I was going to add that it must seem surreal that you knew Sherrill, and that someone you knew would actually do what he did.
