One point about on body carry. This happened at a daycare. Many states have these treated like a school and legal gun owners are prohibited from carrying and must leave it in their vehicles! Know your state and local laws before proceeding!

Good point Dan. This is another example of why I left California and moved to the United States and to the great state of Idaho.

In Maryland child care centers are now considered a "sensitive space" where you aren't allowed to carry. What this actually means is SOFT TARGET.

I get not carrying in courtroom. Police or sheriff office it seems bad people are gonna carry in anyway, so law abiding citizen would carry but not abuse. Everywhere else, in this day and age, ‘A B C’ to defend loved ones, self and sheep. So many wolves out there. Maybe I was born 100 years too late.

I guess I could look myself, but I'm currently a USCCA member. Keith, do you know if they cover lawful defense incidents on church property or when acting as security? Thanks.

Keith, thank you for all you do! Our Church's safety team uses your training videos for our monthly training. Our team is really amazed how helpful and enlightening they are. We went through contact and cover last two months; the team were amazed on how they realized how ill-prepared they were just walking through a contact scenario! Especially when the team member

flipped the script and refused to cooperate with them, Bam oh Crap, now what? Keep up the great training videos!! Your videos and work mean a lot to us, they are not in vain.

Thank you again

I live in Ohio and CCL holders are allowed to carry while in the car at schools, but we cannot legally leave the vehicle without securing our firearm first. This would be a rough scenario in my state.

I left USCCA … it’s insurance..not legal services or defense. Attorneys on Retainer. Check it out.

Make one thing clear the 50 state self defense insurance does not include 50 states... I live in one that is not included, so sacrifice will be expected to protect the innocent.

Tough situation. I surely hope that he's not charged with anything.

I can’t get my head around he was walking through the parking lot with his kids part of the story and yet retrieved his gun out of the car. He must have only been a few yards away from the car when he saw the guy with the fake

gun. Day Care is not treated as a school in Wisconsin but many are attached to churches running schools or private schools so you need to be careful. Almost all are posted no guns, but that does not carry the force of law. Also I just looked at Aerial photo of the daycare. The parking lot is shared with a church run elementary school. Thats a problem. It would be considered school grounds if your in it. He could have parked on the street and entered from that direction eliminating the school grounds violation.
