They say he demanded two people empty their pockets. That's when police say a person with a concealed weapons permit shot the man in his chest.

If your a criminal and your reading this, ask yourself if you feel lucky, where can you go that you will be sure someone isn't carrying a concealed weapon ready and waiting to put their first notch on the handle.
If any man should come into my castle with ill intentions, he will have a humbling experience. Whether or not he comes out dead or alive will be up to the Lord.

It's the guns fault?

No, it's the person responsible for child; in that case his father.

Stop blaming inanimate objects. Normal, rational and logical thinking adults don't blame cars for accidents and matches for starting fires.

Normal, rational and logical adults place regulations on guns because of fools like this "gun nut" Dad and this "gun nut" firing range owner.

And the normal, rational, logical...SCOTUS says it's Constitutional.

This ones been beaten to death, and even "gun nuts'() like me, agree this father and 'range master' should have been horsewhipped at the least. How bout them numbers for kids killed on ATV's? Pretty big digits there. A lot bigger than gun accidents, Ain't ATV's wonderful?. Stupidity is not limited to the shooting world, regardless of what you believe.

That's really a stupid thing to say since 111 children died in ATV deaths in 2006 but 2900 children died in 2003 via guns.???????????????
