NOWHERE the public is not allowed to carry firearms is safe, not even Military bases or police stations, or jails. Therefore, there should be nowhere a law-abiding citizen should have to surrender thier weapon.
I'm going to disagree with you only because you put "jails" in there.
Come to my jail with a gun and you'll gain a very pretty set of silver bracelets.
Also, police stations are very safe. Just so ya know...

I'd take the 28+ cops at the jail with guns over one normal guy with a gun any day of the week.
The people that die in jails don't die in the front lobby.
You're making an argument you can't win with me. You've probably never spent a significant amount of time in a jail or police station. That's cool. I understand.
But don't try to fake that you know what you're talking about. Because you don't.

The second one is... Well, let's just say there were mistakes made that day.
I actually use the second video at work as a training aid.
The second video is also a horrible example to use in this discussion as there are no firearms allowed in the secure areas of the jail. No matter who you are.

Exactly. Fort Hood is a bad example too. That was more a friendly fire type incident. But that's a different discussion.
The fact that none of the people in the first video died is pretty amazing. But still. Nothing would have stopped that guy.
