Notes on the Orlando mass murderer

Posted by David Hardy · 12 June 2016 09:57 PM

1. He was a licensed security guard, working for a firm that provides security for nuclear facilities. So he passed (we may hope) some very tight background checks, and had a status that would have exempted him from most gun laws. (Even in DC, licensed security guards can carry. The peasants are to be trusted when they protect the nobleman's property).

2. He attacked (as seems to always be the case) in a gun-free zone. Must not have read the law. And this being Florida, home of "shall issue" concealed carry permits, gun free zones are about the only place where mass murder is feasible.

He sure as hell did not take a chance with The Gun Range that is located about 5 minutes away and they rent guns including machine guns.

Was the shooter (I prefer not to use his name) actually a guard at a nuke plant? G4S has lots of rent-a-cops, most are typically mediocre.

Doc,

From what I read, he ran the metal detector at the courthouse.

Prior to that he was posted at the front gate of a gated community.
