Another Success of "Gun-Free Zones!"

A few thoughts on the Denny's shooting in Pismo Beach...here's the skinny from the Mercury News:

Gunman kills two, then self at Pismo Beach Denny's

Three people are dead and two are wounded after a man entered the Pismo beach Denny’s restaurant shortly after noon today.

Police and witnesses say the man, whose name and age have not been released, entered the restaurant and shot four people with a semi-automatic gun and a revolver before shooting and killing himself.

As most of you know, California is a certified "Gun-Free Zone." Carry permits are issued on a hit-and-miss basis based on counties, and most counties (think LA) issue no carry permits at all. Loaded firearms in cars are not allowed without a valid carry permit. San Fran banned handguns. You can read the whole sad can of worms here.

The net result of California's war on firearms is the Denny's shooting — bad man with a gun; good people without guns.

Obviously, I travel to California a lot, since that's where The Outdoor Channel lives. I tiptoe through the state, because it's the only place I travel where I don't routinely carry a gun. Arguably, it's also the place where I most need one!

Gun control works so well!
