Shooting at Lockheed Martin plant.
Heard on Fox News: Terrible report about a shooting at a Lockheed
Martin facility near Meridian MS. Seven people are reported dead, including the shooter. Several people are also said to be injured. There is no apparent link to terrorism. I will post updates on planenews.com Gil. |

@corp.supernews.com: Also no apparent benefit to hiding under desks or behind doors. When will people ever learn that cowering is not an adequate self-defense measure? ARM YOURSELF. I know of few companies that will permit you to carry on their premises. You must not deter the criminal from exercising their apparent right to kill you. I wish there were a Victims Justice System. -- John Godwin Silicon Rallye Inc. |

Most of those doing the shooting in such cases are also employees or ex employees who had no criminal background up until the time they went postal. Keith |

Quite so and most employers dont like those on their premises either. Keith |

That'll explain the edgy look I get from the boss when I show up with my Claymore then. Or perhaps it's the words "This end towards boss" engraved on the blade? When I worked for McDermott Engineering London our terms and conditions were obviously lifted straight from the US version , one clause read "Employees shall not bring firearms onto company premises without written permission from their immediate supervisor' 'Shotguns and other long arms may be left in a vehicle in the parking lot' Keith |

Are there armed guards at all the entrances? Metal detectors? Maybe just a sign? "weapon-free zone,no weapons allowed",that oughta work.Yup. Ever notice the shooting sprees happen where it's supposed to be a "gun- free" zone? No one will have the capability of firing back,guaranteed. -- Jim Yanik,NRA member remove null to contact me |

: Ever notice the shooting sprees happen where it's supposed to be a "gun- free" zone? And by the same standard nearly every "shooting spree" carried out, at least here in the UK, was carried out using legally held, properly licensed weapons. In spite of my extreme opposition to the handgun ban in this country, I do find that fact pretty telling. Big fan of gun *control*, fierce opponent of gun *bans* here. -- -------- Regards Drewe Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity |

That's probably because the ones who have illegal guns don't do 'shooting sprees'. But don't the Yardies do 'drive-bys'? ISTR that they do a fair amount of gun crime. Your version of "gun control" is really *people* control,gun control is hitting what you are firing at. The authorities ever catch who killed Jill Dando,BBC commentator? -- Jim Yanik,NRA member remove null to contact me |
