Or allow yourself employees to protect themselves

That's all fine and good, but as an employer you do have some responsibility to handle problem you create.

Crazy talk!

Ah. Sure seemed like 11pm at a FedEx distribution center was an odd time and place for a targeted spree shooting. Wonder if it'll come out that he worked second shift and had specific individuals and a grievance in mind.

Guess their nogunz signs and metal detectors didn't change his mind.

Oh, I'm sure. I'm just coming from if I have one guy saying you have to wait a little longer to get your AR vs. another guy saying you can't have an AR, I can wait. If me waiting means that some psycho can't walk into a gun shop all hyped up, buy a gun and take some people out, is that really a bad thing? Does it suck for those of us who play nicely? Most definitely.
My opinion is just that, my opinion. How do we protect our rights and at the same time stop senseless violence. Serious question. You and I both know that a person did this, not a gun but we have to come up with a better solution than just flag waving and saying, "You can't tell me what to do!". People need an answer to gun violence. Shouldn't we, as gun owners come up with the answer before they do?

Ok. For the members here, stop the name calling, (for now). If Leverboy is not trolling and is actually here to learn, let him. Every person who can realize that these gun control laws do nothing to prevent this kinda of tragedy, it's better for our side. Yes it's rare but it happens. We have ~8 million first time gun owners in the last 14 months. Not all of them think like the majority of us. If they are willing to learn, let them.

If the noob is a troll, I'll be the first to break out the ban hammer and Yeet him across the fence. Then we can continue as before.

Now to @Leverboy. You have stepped into an angry snake pit. We are tired of all of the excuses the left uses to take away our freedoms. These gun control measures are NOT about the guns. They are about the CONTROL. The left wants everyone under their thumb to do as they say. Period. Armed citizens stand in the way of that. Our members are trying to stand up to this. If you are truly here to learn, we will be happy to help you do so. If you are here to start something and just troll, I'll ban you so fast, then unban you just to ban you again. You can join in the conversations here.

Let's get back to the topic of the thread. Let's give the noob a chance. If it turns out he's a troll, I'll take the blame.

Protip to employers, if you fire a sketchy individual, please hire security for a bit.

A lot of companies around here hire us to do part time security when they fire someone they fear might return.

Prayers for the victims and their families. still waiting to hear back from a good friend working there last night...

Have you heard if your friend is safe?

NM I caught up. Sure happy your friend was safe.

"Coulter’s Law" ?

Not looking like it.

Sorry to hear this.

I am sad to confirm our fears were true.

His mom contacted law enforcement last year and said he might be a threat to himself, and commit suicide by cop. He was immediate detention and had a shotgun seized (hasn't been returned). Due to things seen in his room he was interviewed by the FBI.

Suspect in Indianapolis mass shooting was former FedEx employee, known to law enforcement

INDIANAPOLIS — During a Friday afternoon press conference, the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) identified the suspect in a shooting at an Indianapolis FedEx facility as Brandon S…

When I worked security, 9 out of 10 jobs were something related to that. It's common sense.

Didn't some of the reporting today say that the shooter killed the security guards first thing?

My condolences.

One wonders. The way the FBI operates, that could be anything from a case of hand grenades to a copy of the Declaration of Independence.

@Leverboy OK, so with that waiting period, you have done nothing but buy some time. Provided the angry little psychopath isnt already an owner. In that case your waiting period fails. Oh, what about when the angry psychopath tells his soon to be ex wife he is gonna kill her for leaving him? So she goes to buy a gun to protect herself. Oh, wait. She cant. She has to wait, and hope and pray her dangerous ex is polite and gives her a chance to arm herself before attacking her "fair and square".

You were probably the kid that would scream "Time out!" in the middle of a game of tag when you cant run fast enough and are about to get tagged.

Life cannot be protected by more rules and laws.

I'm curious about how this nut job got another firearm. Did he lie on his 4473? Unless you're the President's son that is against the law!

"In March 2020, the suspect’s mother contacted law enforcement to report he might try to commit “suicide by cop”. The suspect was placed on an immediate detention mental health temporary hold by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. A shotgun was seized at his residence. Based on items observed in the suspect’s bedroom at that time, he was interviewed by the FBI in April 2020. No Racially Motivated Violent Extremism (RMVE) ideology was identified during the course of the assessment and no criminal violation was found. The shotgun was not returned to the suspect."

It seems like an awful high percentage of the mass shooters were in close contact with the FBI... weird.

It is a wonderment.

Per what I saw, it was shift change time. Maximum targets and largest chance the one he was looking for would be there.

Observation, or training?

It seems that the "I" in FBI has turned from "Investigation" to "Instigation".

Anything is possible. Case in point. Instigating rubes into kidnapping the Governor of Michigan.
