Gotta love this quote:Originally Posted by Safetyhit
I'd heard that a lot of SWAT teams were becoming very militarized, but when did they start issuing 105's?ATF agents as well as police from as far away as Upper Darby and Haverford townships responded to the hospital campus, including the Delaware County SWAT Team. Officers, armed with heavy artillery, moved in to secure the scene.

This is why Progressives are crazy. The Doc shoots the attacker and they wonder if metal detectors are the answer. It's like after a house fire, you ignore the firefighters and their hoses and wonder if smoke detectors would have stopped the fire. Detectors only work after a fire has started or a guy has gun and don't help unless you have the right tool to put the fire out.Authorities said there are no surveillance cameras in the doctor's office or the waiting area outside. They also said the center had no metal detectors.

A psychiatrist that carries a gun. That's a pretty big admission that there are some crazy mo'fo's out there...

I used to shoot IDPA with a Psychiatrist, the guy carried 24/7 and one on one in a candid moment told me was concerned about some of the "Bat Shit Crazy" MoFo's he deals with.

I love how Fox news makes a big thing over how the police on the scene say doctor is a hero for carrying the gun and taking this guy out. Yet CNN barely acknowledges the doctor had a gun, let alone actually saved people with it.
It's all how you spin it, or don't.

Agree 100%. Clearly CNN is fair and balanced based on the way it wrote the story's headline...

Thankfully that is how it is being viewed by many.
Yeadon Police Chief Donald Molineux said that, "without a doubt, I believe the doctor saved lives."
"Without that firearm, this guy (the patient) could have went out in the hallway and just walked down the offices until he ran out of ammunition," Molineux said.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

Too bad he only 'treated' the patient and didn't 'cure' him...

There's more ER docs who carry guns than people may realize, often against hospital policy.
