    Legally? Yes. Not really unheard of in small towns. I wouldn't call it a good idea though.

    Same here, kind of. My English teacher in 11th grade had a wife and kids, but fell in love with a student at another school that he transferred to the following year. They apparently started an affair the day after she graduated HS. He left his wife and kids and they got engaged. Predictably, she realized she didnt want to be married to a guy who was in his 40s and couldnt get a teaching job anywhere since that got out, so now he sells used cars in Rhode Island. Good times.

    Happy fucking ending. Assholes. That’s the problem with dating a young person when you aren’t. They still live in the “age of invincibility” (16-35) where you can party as hard as you can, play three contact sports a year and you won’t age and you’ll never grow old or die.

    ...then sometime in your thirties you come to grips with mortality. You’re NOT going to live forever, you realize popularity and opinions weren’t actually worth shit, and you need multiple ACL surgeries because for five years you ripped off Jackass stunts for a total YouTube audience of 422.

    Another mass shooting at a Madden tournament in Jacksonville. It’s disrespectful to say “here we go again” but I’ll admit it was my first thought.

    I'm still stuck on the irony of the most violence ever associated with a video game wasn't a fighting game, first person shooter, or other genre that's been complained about for decades, but a simple sports simulator.

    It was live-streamed. There’s some really sickening audio of it. Fortunately most of the footage cut out once the shooting started.

    The news is saying he lost in the tournament, got pissed of, and came back with a gun.

    I actually would like to know, where did he get the gun? I know it's FL and the rules are lax to say the least, but he was from Baltimore, in town for the tournament. I don't think even FL gun shops will sell to someone from out of state, but I could be wrong.

    He could have driven from Baltimore and brought it with him? Whether he had a permit to carry, or reciprocity to cross state lines, I doubt things like "laws" really matter to somebody who commits cold blooded murder.

    That’s why I think people who promote gun free zones, and the legislators who enact them, can go fuck themselves right in the ass.

    By the way, the esports tournament took place at a bar. Which is a gun free zone (51% rule).

    Since it was a bar, does the gun-free zone argument even enter the picture? It was private property.

    Many states prohibit carrying a firearm into a bar. Florida is one of them.

    That's what I thought, but even if it was legal, would it still be an issue of "gun-free zones" since I'm willing to bet (maybe wrongly) that most bar owners would ban firearms in their establishments anyway? What I'm trying to say is that when it comes to private property, I would think the issue of gun-free zones would be irrelevant since property owners have the right to ban or allow firearms on their property anyway.

    Yeah, Im not sure how gun-free zones are relevant here. Private businesses have the right to make any rules they want, but its not the same as having a gun free zone in a state park or near a school or something.

    Private schools, private movie theaters. Around here there is a privately-owned grocery chain that has rather infamously made itself a gun-free zone. A good example of how to handle it would be someone's home. You can legally carry in someone else's residence if you have a license, unless they either tell you to disarm or notify you prior to entry (in texas, the 30.06 and 30.07 signs).

    But I'm not sure how many private business owners would willingly make their place a gun-free zone, since criminals are going to disregard that anyway and you're basically removing any chance you had at mounting a defense before the cops eventually arrive.

    A lot of business owners would rather hand over the cash in the till rather than have a gun battle and further risk themselves or a bystander getting killed. Thats why large chains actually fire employees that try to fight back during a robbery. They have insurance and loss prevention for a reason. I understand the point your making, but the example you give is more often than not the way its handled in private business too. Many will have posted notices, its not really up to LTC holders to guess if the business owner allows it.

    I feel like accidents are an issue also. The less guns on hand, the less chance there is of an accident. Not that anyone on this board that regularly advocates for CC everywhere has accidentally shot themselves or anything.

    I almost shot myself, not did, and it was with a firearm that I don't CC, due to a lack of said safety features. Since it was while I was breaking it down for cleaning, 2 of the 3 safeties on my glock, including the firing pin block, would have engaged and prevented it from firing in the first place.

    Just in case anyone else was confused about RoTN suddenly not having shot himself after years of jokes about him having shot himself.

    Alright. Everyone stop what you're doing and listen to me.

    How does this story fit into teenage boys being sexually traumatized by older women teachers?
