Oh, state law will be overhauled after this fiasco....I expect all current LEOs will be background checked as well.
If he had not been a cop...Let's say he was a Fireman...would that have prevented him from getting a gun and doing this? As someone mentioned, youth in that area hunt. I expect that LE all over the country arelooking at their policies which is good but blaming this on everyone and everything but the shooter is just going to give the gun grabbers another inch, IMO.
I have to admit, I’m very surprised there’s still states out there that don’t require a psych eval. When I was involved with this area in a former life, it was application, background, written, oral, psych, then drug test...in that order. Sadly enough, you’d be surprised how many actually make it through to the end and then fail the drug test (shaking head).
