I publish this one in anticipation of it being found to be a DUI. The driver survived and has a history of drug arrests.

We live in a sick, diseased society where no one truly cares about each other, such is the extent that capitalism and nationalism has eroded our basic humanity

And this was possibly a mass killing thwarted only by circumstance: https://www.wmur.com/article/merrim...-handgun-after-threatening-employees/30943254

Which goes to my dislike of "no weapons in the office" (or occasionally, in the parking lot) company policies, my own company having implemented it a year ago.

Yes, on the one hand it prevents someone from going into a rage and pulling a gun right there in the office. On the other hand, when that person goes out to the parking lot to get the gun out of their vehicle (because no one is actually searching vehicles outside of federal installations), or like in this case come from their home not even being subject to corporate policies anymore, since the company is not providing sufficient security on its own it seems shortsighted to prevent employees that would otherwise be legally carrying concealed from doing so. In my office at one point there were at least four (out of fifty total) people that I know of carrying concealed firearms, and a current or former employee showing up and opening fire would not get very far.

Gun rights are getting so intrusive that we actually have people arguing for their right to carry on other people's private property?

I already have the legal right to carry on other people's private property. I'm arguing the point that workplace no-weapons policies may be counterproductive.

 

[stinkubus]

The property owner can't ask you to leave for doing so? This is news to me. Can you direct me to the relevant law, please?

 

[IglooDame]

The property owner can't ask you to leave for doing so? This is news to me. Can you direct me to the relevant law, please?

They can, of course. You've misunderstood me. They can ask me to leave for any reason whatsoever, including my being male, hetero, Catholic, denouncing an elected official, or no reason at all. I'm not arguing that the government should infringe on the property owner's rights by restricting any of that, I don't want the feds or the state telling my employer that I have to be allowed to carry a concealed weapon on company property. I am lamenting that the property owner has made a private rule about it, given that it effectively only prevents people that follow the rule from defending against those that don't follow the rule, and the property owner doesn't add any other defenses.

The Commissioner is not altogether happy with this entry. It seems a 77-year-old man was driving the wrong way on the highway. The Commissioner's thinking is that he would have been charged with a crime had he survived. Three of those killed were children.
