Second death reported at hospital. Police have BOLO for a Tom West.

I just got into work in Downtown Cincinnati from a dentist appointment. Every last white van on the road was pulled over by at least 3 cop cars.

This won't bode well for Ohio's concealed carry.

Tom West? OMG! I just KNEW that a Bush was involved!

>> Well, just keep practicing, and soon you'll be throwing that revolver just as well as the knife... ;0) <<

ROTFLMHO!! Thanks for the laugh. I needed it this morning.

[appalachian_dweller]

>> I'd prefer being jobless to dead. <<

Good point.

No, we cannot legally a concealed weapon in Ohio

This won't bode well for Ohio's concealed carry.

I am sure someone will link this shooting, for a reason not to have CCW.
It would never cross their minds, that one person carrying, could stop the shooter.

I think you are right

Bump to see what unfolds. Time for public hangings to come back.

Sorry to hear that. And a tragedy for those attacked.

[ruoflaw]

If you hear anything else,please let me know...my son and his family are in Mason

[WackyKat]

I bet he was wearing his "camo"

They'll run with "the angry white man" theory, although when the race of the perp is left undescribed, another conclusion may be more accurate. Yes, Sherlock Moose must be called in!

Police are looking for a man who is about 50 years old driving a white panel van with no front windows.

he might have been watching A-Team or maybe the Clint Eastwood movie with the armored bus, just thought of covering the windows with armor plate. Doesn't sound practical, but he is probably not a practical person anyway. Loser.

Of course we realize that most people under the age of what?...40??, wouldn't "get it". ;^)

That would be me, but....I'm over 40. I guess I've just been living in a cave for the last 42 years, lol.

[DEPUTYMAYTAG]

2 now dead.

I doubt if many employers outside the gub'mint allow carry at work, too many lawyers and too much liability. However what my employer doesn't know won't hurt them ;D

However what my employer doesn't know won't hurt them

If you're posting from work, they know it now!

...although when the race of the perp is left undescribed...

I generally assume if the perp isn't identified as a white male, then it's a black or Hispanic perp.

"This won't bode well for Ohio's concealed carry."

The fundamental purpose of allowing concealed carry is for folks to be able to defend themselves in such a surprise ambush. THe murderer driving the windshieldless white rust bucket didn't give a damn about the states failure to sanction his carry. It's incidents like this that illustrate the futility and deadliness of being an unarmed victim that drive the desire for concealed carry. IOWs the folks of Ohio and outside are given a clear pic of what happens to folks that are unable to mount sufficient defense against vicious attackers.
