Another “Success” Story

Hadn’t heard this one but Lissa sent this story my way:

University officials said a staff member first saw the man carrying what appeared to be a gun in an elevator at the business school after 2 p.m. on Tuesday. The staff member called police at 2:17 p.m., saying she saw the man remove the gun from a backpack.

Police officers tracked the suspect into a Haas computer lab. The suspect raised the loaded gun and was shot by an officer at about 2:22 p.m., roughly five minutes after the initial call, according to the school.

At the time, four students were between the officer and the suspect, UC Chancellor Robert Birgeneau said Tuesday. None of the students was hurt.

So he was carrying without a permit in a county where carry permits are essentially impossible to acquire. A college where carrying guns is illegal. Brandishing a gun to a staffer in the elevator. Drawing a loaded gun in a computer lab filled with cops and students, and pointing the gun at them.

One more law certainly would have stopped all of this, right?

    If he had had to register that handgun, he never would have done this!

    I believe Says Uncle describes this type of situation as UN-POSSIBLE!

    Of course! One more law and he wouldn’t have had the gun in the first place…….or so they say. Idiots.
