Yep...a survivor of the shooting is speaking out on the truth...he should have been able to defend himself and others against the attacker....
Borderline Bar & Grill Survivor: 'I Should Have Been Able To Be Armed'
Well, at the Borderline Bar & Grill in Thousand Oaks, CA, we have one survivor who says he would have liked to have been that good guy with a gun, only he couldnāt be.
Last night I went to the country bar Borderline in Thousand Oaks, California with my girlfriend Ally and her two friends. I am 20 years old and have lived in Thousand Oaks my whole life. I currently go to California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks and am a sophomore.
We were having a great time, until at about 11:20 pm when shots started going off. Smoke grenades were thrown by the entrance, which limited my view of the shooter. It was a pistol I believe, and as the shots started, my girlfriend and I ducked behind the DJ booth.
ā¦
I believe this area was a gun free zone, and although there was security, I donāt believe any were armed. I do know that one security officer was killed right when the shooting started.
If just one person was armed, there is a possibility that it could have been stopped then and there. This is why gun free zones are a danger to us all, and if someone had been there armed, those people would still be alive.
The author of this, a man named Alex Chatoff, praised the police for their quick response in taking out the killer, but he has a point. People inside the bar could have done that as wellā¦if California law didnāt do so much to discourage people from being able to protect themselves.
