Where the clerk, server, owner, worker, laborer...etc..etc...defended themselves.
Geesh....a "good ending" is if you are STILL ALIVE..! Losing a job, a position, or being adjudicated is nothing.
And that is my point.
Like I said......Here's what you originally wrote: "But, in all the cases where we’ve heard about these kinds of shootings, it hasn’t come out with a “good ending” where someone decided that they were not going to obey the ban."
IMHO, A good ending is breathing at the end.....
FWIW-
You said — “How many do you want? Do a search. Just do one in your own state.
Where the clerk, server, owner, worker, laborer...etc..etc...defended themselves.”
In these cases that I’ve read and/or seen on TV or radio (and I do keep up on the news, ya know...), where someone has defended themselves from a robbery (like maybe a liquor store owner, or a night clerk somewhere, or whatever), of an assault or a burglary or any number of violent crimes against individuals — these have all been okay and legal to do (i.e., in “areas” that were not “gun-free zones”). There wasn’t an issue or a problem.
I’m not looking for examples of things like this in areas where there has never been any question of concealed weapons. Not at all. I’m looking *specifically* at the problem that one gets into when they do so in the *prohibited* areas. The many examples that you’re referring to are abundantly seen in the “legal” areas. That’s not the issue that I’m raising.
So, you see..., I wasn’t talking about those. Those are not the problem areas.
.
Then — “Geesh....a “good ending” is if you are STILL ALIVE..! Losing a job, a position, or being adjudicated is nothing.”
Again, it’s a problem and not a good ending when you lose a job, or you’ve got a felony or you’ve ended up in court and have to spend thousands of dollars. And again, I am talking about those gun-free zones — like on school grounds, like at a university where they are banned, like at a job where the employer will fire you. Those are the areas where I’m talking about.
And so, I said that if someone goes ahead and decides to break the law (end up with a record which bans you from owning guns, for one thing) and/or take the penalty (either lost job, or dismissal from university) and all those sorts of things — then they are not going to end up with good endings.
Besides, what I’ve heard is that gun owners are “law abiding” and if that is so — then the gun owners are not going to be carrying concealed weapons in places where it’s not allowed.
Either you are going to be legal or you’re illegal (and/or penalties...). You can’t call gun owners the best around and obey the laws better than anyone else — and then advocate *breaking the laws* when carrying your gun...
.
Finally — “IMHO, A good ending is breathing at the end.....”
Well, there are more considerations than just that. You can be breathing and go lose your job and go bankrupt — or — you can be breathing and still have job and still carry your gun in “legal areas” (and not violate the laws or policies.
