Is it easy to avoid states where folks conceal carry when visiting the USA, or is it pretty much everywhere? Just curious.

Obviously they should not be labeled as 'crazy homicidal basement dwellers.' And I hope no one has done that.
But Lanza, Rogers and now ,Mercer , are going to bring the topic of Aspergers and spree killers to the forefront. And not because they are homicidal or crazy, imo. But the motive in many of these killings is loneliness, despair, severe depression from feeling isolated and rejected socially. So I think it is vital that we learn how to help integrate Aspies into society in a fulfilling manner so they do not feel isolated and angry.
It's a mind blower, isn't it. Too bad everyone can't try living somewhere where guns are not available. Such a difference,
It seems like parents need some skills and support. In the case of Sandy Hook and this then this one, it appears the mothers needed some assistance.
BBM - this! I don't think these things are exclusive to those who suffer from Aspergers, but seem to be common traits amongst mass killers. With that said, how can we help Aspies (or anyone!) integrate into mainstream society?
Interesting story about concealed carry in my state. On 2 recent visits to the auto title bureau (where people have to come for concealed carry permits) I waited near the CC desk. The first time, an elderly man, about 80 or so, came to get his permit. He had an aide, used a walker, could barely stand up and couldn't see to put his hands on the scanner for his fingerprint check. He also couldn't hear and his hands were very shaky, his arms waving around. He got his permit. Next visit, a lady sat next to me chatting. She was well to do, lots of diamond jewelry, designer clothes, friendly and her breath reeked of whisky. She was half in the bag. She got her permit.
In Sandy Hook, that mother had lots of help. And she still bought that kid guns, left him to his own devices, and ignored his escalating "weird" behavior.
IDK about this mom. Not enough info yet.
No. I live in Ohio. Apparently the standards for concealed carry permits are pretty lax here. My son and I were shocked speechless.
Do you live in Louisiana?
Thanks for saying this. I'm not trying to be tinfoil hat-ish, but there is something definitely wrong with his social media presence. I have a feeling some of it may have been altered. MOOThis shooter was so odd and full of contradictions. I find it fascinating that he identifies as 'mixed race' and yet he had lots of Nazi memorabilia in his hovel. And it has been reported that he was extremely close to his mother, who was recently heard crying uncontrollably. And yet he said he 'had a problem' with blacks. His mother was his closest and most supportive person and she is black. So he seemed to reject the one person who loved him and was always there for him. And rejected himself ultimately.
I so wonder about this as was there something posted about low income? Was he living in a one bedroom and sleeping on the couch? If so, aren't guns rather expensive?
We have got to stop making these shooters famous. MOO
Yes, but maybe he was used to this his whole life. I get the impression he was struggling though life.
I am wondering where the money came from to purchase guns
