ANAHEIM, Calif. - A gunman opened fire early Friday at a Denny's restaurant, killing one man and seriously wounding another, police said. It was the third fatal shooting at the restaurant chain in Southern California this week.

noooooooo

The 4th killing will be their buisiness that takes a dive . . .

from his tactically dominant position (sitting in an electric cart I presume with a knife and fork in his hands and a mouthful of biscuits and gravy), he could've pushed away from the table, pulled the Glock auto from his pants and proceeded to empty the magazine into the restaurant in the general direction of the shooting. After a quick magazine change, he could then proceed to fall out of the electric cart, and hold the pistol above his head, over the table and continue to fire towards the screaming sounds.

Maybe a couple of collaterals, but the bad guy would know who's the boss......

I believe Tuck's implication with his post is that if there had been more people "carrying" in this Denny's, then this would have been prevented. Adroomi's characterization of the way that would go down is conceivable, albeit a little obtuse and hurtful.

I, on the other hand, would be shoving my family under the table at the first hint of gunfire......OR I would be doing exactly what the gentleman with the gun asked in order to reduce the chance of becoming a target.

If I were carrying, and a very very good opportunity to neutralize the threat arose, I would take it. It would be unlikely, however, that I would have a chance to draw a weapon cleanly and get the upper hand.

I think Denny's should install knockout gas systems.....just put the whole place down when a crisis begins to occur..........could you imagine the lawsuits?

Stick around awhile.

Andy, for me it would depend on the situation (if carrying). If it looked like a robbery I would not act. If it looked like the guy was going to shoot people, and I had a chance, I'd act.

You don't wanna be hiding under the table and find out he's there to shoot as many as he can.

First Denny's shooting was a similar situation. Men fighting and one gets killed. Not random.

The second was random. Homeless guy walks in and kills two people and wounds two others, then kills himself. Even if someone had been armed in the restaurant, Tuck, I doubt they would've gotten a shot off before the guy put a bullet into himself. Two people would still be dead.
