Beware! Gun-free zones are a dangerous fantasy (“Bill on gun-free areas on Oahu passes first reading,” Star-Advertiser, Nov. 30).
Historically, criminals ignore these laws, assuring that no armed, law-abiding citizens will be within these malls and churches to resist them.
How many times have people been saved by an armed citizen, violating the gun-free rule, who surprised and terminated the unsuspecting shooter?
These laws are simply a pointless, potentially dangerous “feel good” folly.
