The guys at my LGS all carry of course. One of them was showing me his EDC .44 magnum with 250 gr had cast lead bullets. I think they’d make a real mess of things and over penetration might be a problem.

This reminds me of the moron that decided to rob a Texas jewelry store.

One clerk pulled an AK from under the counter. LOL

yeah but the problem is on a gun range he or she will take out several people before anyone knows there is a murderer there as opposed to a target shooter.

Let me guess; the shooter was protesting “gun violence.”

And Joseph Stolen wants to prevent citizens from being armed to prevent them from stopping things like mass shootings when they happen

Kind of reminds me of the incident where a man tried to kidnap a woman. She ran into a karate studio, and the man actually followed her inside. The man was on drugs, and the karate instructor had to give him a beatdown, resulting in the kidnapper leaving on a stretcher.

That headline probably needs some editing.

“The gun outlet’s website explicitly states that anyone entering the facility with a gun must have it ‘unloaded, holstered or boxed and safe.’...The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office (JSPO) told WDSU that a man entered the Jefferson Gun Outlet with a loaded gun that was not holstered.

Suicide by gun shop

That is more common than you think. Only the usual M.O. is for a suicidal person to go to a range, rent a gun, then shoot themselves.

Here in Michigan we had a person who rented a gun at a local shooting range, then left with the gun and shot his ex-girlfriend dead at her place of work, then shot himself. The range never even realized the gun was missing.

Amazingly, that gun range hasn't been sued out of existence yet. This was three years ago, and I believe that there may be one lawsuit still pending, so it may happen yet.

“Multiple sources familiar with the investigation said detectives were examining the possibility that the gunfire began when the initial shooter argued with store employees who ordered him to unload an extended magazine from a pistol he carried into the business.”
