Update on Oklahoma beheading & defense

Posted by David Hardy · 29 September 2014 03:41 PM

An article in the Christian Science Monitor asks "Oklahoma City beheading: Will jihad-style attack boost 'bring gun to work' laws?"

I can remember when CSM made the Washington Post look like Guns and Ammo; if the other side is losing CSM (phrased otherwise, if it's become open to arguments on the issue) they are indeed in deep trouble. The article says that the defender used a handgun (earlier reports stated it was some manner of rifle). It says the sheriff's department confirms he was not acting in any capacity as their deputy at the time. The only even vaguely antigun point is the very last sentence (which I suspect was stuck in by an editor who was gritting his teeth) to the effect that since the defender had special training (which may or may not be true, depending on the office) maybe this doesn't prove that allowing guns at work is always good.

The issue of expanding the "Guns at Work" laws are moot in regards to this case. The person with the gun was the owner of the business and he can decide to carry a gun at work regardless of any laws permitting employees to keep guns locked in their cars in the employer's parking lots.

The person in question is a reserve deputy and he used an AR15 to shoot the suspect. He was the owner of the place of business where foods are processed but sold his interest in the company and continued on as the COO.

I would suggest getting news from the local outlets for more correct information http://kfor.com/?s=Alton+Nolen
