traingoat Posted May 30, 2014 Share #2 Posted May 30, 2014 I don't know about being disturbing but it is an element of what happens to people in combat over time. You see things as you would not see and the aftermath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QM1to6Ave Posted May 30, 2014 Share #3 Posted May 30, 2014 Sounds like the guy was depressed, not violent or homicidal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missabassie Posted May 30, 2014 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2014 "His mother said he served three tours in Iraq. She said he is very kind and is not violent." Three tours on the battlefield will change a person. For life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peacemak3r Posted June 6, 2014 Share #7 Posted June 6, 2014 Funny, people walk around Pennsylvania with that much and no one bats an eye..... Aren't Pennsylvania's gun laws less strict here, I mean I'm sure if we had open carry/concealed carry laws in New York, then this wouldn't really be news here.

Pa guns laws are much more lenient in that purchase is easier and carry permits are issued by the County Sheriff's office after fingerprinting and investigation. You also have to keep in mind that 50% of Pa population lives in rural areas, the highest in the nation. Where I live approx 1 out of 7 has a carry permit and about 1 out of 10 is carrying. Guns are not seen as weapons as in the city but more as tools. The state has a continual hunting season as one hunting season ends another opens for a different animal. So people walking around with guns is common. You also have enough rattlesnakes in areas where those guns become tools. They are also warning devices as three quick rounds going off is the sound someone needs immediate help where yelling may not be heard but the gunshots sound travels for miles.
