It already has been theaters, post offices and restaurants...
I guess what I'm saying is, I've seen a lot of people say this is what they worry about when they send a child, wife, loved one off to elementary school/high school/college.
I have a school-aged (high school) child and one who lives 900 miles away and works at a major theme park.
I WORRY about this every single time I don't have them in my line of sight (which means 24/7 with regard to my daughter).
Because you could be standing in the post office, at the grocery store, in line to go on a ride, at a restaurant or any number of public places.
Without increased gun control, I am going to worry. All the time. In the back of my head.

We had a shooting at a mall in South Florida.
Not sure where we are safe . . .

No? It wasn't a woman's purse? Huh.

What these open carry, swaggering jerks don't realize is that they look just like the mass murderers out there, especially if they are white and male. None of us can tell the difference, mass murderers being mostly lawful gun owners until they open fire.
The best bet is to leave in order to stay safe.

(14,449 posts)Places that ban guns are safest. Why allow guns in different places? They are not necessary. I wish there was a list that bans guns like the corporate lists that are currently under boycotts. Or we should begin boycotting any place that allow guns and only go to places that ban guns. Let's stop giving money to places that allow for more guns to be purchased. Don't send students to college without gun bans. We need to get ahead of this mess!!!! We can do it!
