But he shouldn't have to worry about a murder rap.

Maybe 99.99999% but not 100%.

An example of where a no gun zone policy worked. 2 guys inside a strip club in Austin which is obviously a gun free zone. They get into an argument. They both leave and one guy goes to his car, gets a gun, and shoots the other guy, killing him. Gun free zone worked.
I suspect the shooter will be in more trouble than common sense would dictate.

Even in Texas.
I'll stop by tomorrow and support them...

Sounds like the guys needs some shooting lessons. He only hit 50%

A gun free zone should mean a GUN FREE ZONE. Even the cops should be unarmed. How about giving a murderous pychopath a fair chance?

You forgot two other warrior presidents from the 20th century:



You might read up on LBJs wartime record. Not too much to recommend him.

Look, every time there is a killing in a gun free zone you and others hop on the opportunity to condemn them. Doesn't matter that there are 10s of thousands of gun free zones in which no killings occur. One can only guess at how many lives have been SAVED because of them. Absolutely no way to determine that. I pointed out one very true example of a time when a gun free zone worked. I'm fairly certain that there have been others.
