I'm going to have to rip that video.

Could you do that, and send me a copy?

Of course.

If only! The above story came from WCPO in Cincinnati.

Um. Enlighten me?

The San Ysidro McDonald's massacre resulted in 22 dead (one of them the murderer) and 19 injured.

Yea, I'd say it is always a good idea to appear non-threatening to police officers.

They were trained that it is legal for civilians to have guns.

That's good, and all, seeing as how officers are civilians, just like everyone who isn't an enlisted man...

Pet peeve of mine.

Thought you all might like to read the update.

(UPDATE 11/21/08 by Anchor/Reporter Brendan Keefe):
We have received many requests about the source for our assertion that most mass murders have occurred in otherwise "gun free" zones.
 
The experts are Ron Borsch from SEALE Academy in Bedford, Ohio and John Benner from Tactical Defense Institute. 
 
A summary of Borsch's study can be found here
 
We also conducted our own analysis of mass murders in the U.S.  The vast majority occurred in schools or on college campuses where firearms are banned as a matter of state statutes.  Others took place in post offices where firearms are banned as a matter of federal law.  Most of the rest took place in shopping malls or other businesses where the owners posted signs prohibiting firearm possession by anyone including those with CCW permits.
 
In some states, like Ohio, those signs have the force of law and violators are prosecuted under the relevant statute.  In other states, like Texas, the signs are considered trespass notices and violators are first asked to leave, then they are arrested for trespass if they decline (of course, if your weapon is visible, it's no longer concealed and there are other potential legal consequences).
 
Based on data from the SEALE study, an analysis by TDI, and our own painstaking research, we are able to say definitively that most "active killer" shootings have occurred in so-called "gun free" zones.  The experts who say they may be "invitations" are also John Benner and Ron Borsch who have six decades of law enforcement experience and training between them.
The Luby's Cafeteria shooting in Killeen, TX in 1991 took place before Texas adopted its Florida-style CCW law.  In fact, that mass murder of 23 people was used as an example by those seeking to enact the CCW legislation.
 
It is accurate to say firearms were banned in Luby's at that time because there was no uniform concealed carry law in place in 1991.  In fact, several victims and survivors had legally owned handguns in their cars at the time of the shooting.
 
While that shooting was not addressed in our story, it and others over the last 40 years were analyzed in our investigation.
 As journalists, we are not interested in entering into the heated debate over gun control.  We are, however, interested in reporting the facts.  In this story, the facts point to the active shooters ignoring gun prohibitions and perhaps selecting those locations because they are "soft targets" where no resistance would be found.
