Depends upon if there was a person their armed as well. Turns out we will never know because California similar ****** up laws like they do in France.
I consider myself a responsible citizen and here is my take- I don't carry where a sign says carrying a weapon is not allowed. It does not matter if it is by law or the preference of the person who controls the building. For me to have had a gun in that building would have been a violation of the trust placed on me my being a guest in that building.
So it would not have been with me. I have faced a loaded gun more then once! One time it was a law officer in the performance of his duties.
Other times because of concern for the welfare of other employees. In neither case was I armed but my course of actions saved lives. The case with the officer was a mistaken identity by the way.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
