(22,847 posts)only courthouses and the Capitol are off limits without pre-notification to the responsible authority. I find it is easier on everybody to either not bring a gun or turn it over to the Deputies when I visit those places.
The OP stated those who carry are the problem. The unspoken word is legal carriers, obviously. There was no misunderstanding, just attitude. The shooting resulted from a seventeen year old suspect who returned to the scene when the groups decided to finish the fight after the police left. That those involved felt the need to continue a fight was very unwise. To choose to bring a gun to such a scene is the height of stupidity. Legal carry was not a problem.
I am all for charging the person or persons responsible for providing the teen with the gun to be charged as accessories, at minimum.
