Question for the Mods

Could the mods please clarify guidelines for how mass shootings can be discussed in r/CCW without violating rules #1 (self-defense related) and #8 (no politics)?Politics:It is accepted as a given within the gun community most mass shootings occur at venues which are gun-free zones. Whether or not gun free zones should exist is a political argument which by rule (Mods not mine) isn't allowed in r/CWW.The topic can be discussed to infinity and beyond elsewhere, but under the rule of law as it exists today and for the foreseeable future the right of a person to decide what happens on their property trumps the right of another person carry a gun on it if posted and that is never likely to change.When the only risk is being asked to leave a posted gun free zone it is a question of respecting the wishes rights of others or not which is a personal choice each participant of r/CCW must make. I honor the signs if there is no viable alternative to shop elsewhere for something I need because I think it hypocritical to expect others to respect my various rights if respecting theirs isn't my normal behavior.Self-Defense:The Orlando club venue was, as I understand it, a gun free zone with criminal penalties by law because alcohol was served. It is likely some there had a permit to carry but decided partying was more important than self-defense. At that point one decides to store their gun and cross the threshold of a non-gun zone it stops becoming a self-defense issue and instead becomes a conscious lifestyle risk-assessment decision; one where the level risk rises the later one stays out both because intoxicated people are more likely to pick a fight, and because criminals know people wandering the streets after midnight are likely to be impaired to some degree and easy marks. The risk adverse are home in bed at 2 a.m.The Hypothetical:There have been numerous discussion on r/CCW after self defense shootings make the news about strategies and tactics; how one should react if finding oneself in the middle of a mass shooting or any other type of third party conflict. The most recent was the incident at a gas station where a armed third party interjected himself it the argument between another customer and clerk, became the target of the guy's anger and got backed into a corner and forced to shoot him. It was deemed justifiable and he wasn't charged.That type of discussion would seem appropriate under the current rules #1 and #7 in the Orlando incident if it came to light that someone who was carrying with a permit in the club — despite the legal prohibition — had attempted to engage the shooter but I haven't read or seen anything in the new to suggest that occurred."How to react in a mass shooting" might better be handled as sidebar article or FAQ. It might cover such things as being situational aware, knowing where the emergency exits are at all times and moving towards one and cover when a threat is first detected — gunshots or just a sketchy person seen entering the space. via /r/CCW http://ift.tt/1Uxpca9
