1. Running. Apparently one did help get kids out, just wish

he’d repent and denounce carrying and proliferation of guns

[tirebiter]

6. He was a black soldier with s concealed carry permit.

Glen Oakley. He was a good guy with a gun. He just wasn’t shooting anybody. His first priority was to save children. I have no problem with that.

8. I don't believe carrying guns helps society. Saving kids is good, though.

3. Julian Castro brought this up this morning.

He was talking to Jake Tapper and said there would have been a lot of people with guns in Walmart at that time and not one took down the shooter. The “good guy with a gun” saving the day is a myth.

4. I looked into carry

my little 9mm. But the cost of applying was too much in Florida.
Why should little 79 year old me, with zero crime record, should have to pay mucho $$ to apply carry permit? I am vulnerable not just at home, but at any public place. I can shoot 6" target circle at 30 feet at the gun range..

9. What does that have to do with anything?

12. It has to do with a lot of things,

If guys like me could acquire carry permits with minimal cost, the public will have less chance of multiple deaths by a single shooter. And it will work quickly versus decades necessary to dwindle supply of rapid firing guns legally obtained by civilians. what is wrong with BOTH, a faster solution and a long term solution?

5. At least one of them was scooping up kids and carrying them to safety--a man named

Glendon Oakley, Jr.

13. And a hero

7. A tweeter today said,

“If you can’t find a good guy with a gun to stop the bad guy with the gun in a Texas Walmart, you need to bury that idea in the trash.”

11. +1. n/t

[customerserviceguy]

10. Mall policy

didn't ban the good guy, just his gun.
