Gilroy, California – -(AmmoLand.com)- Early reports coming over the news channels on the Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting are all over the place, with eyewitness claims of machine-guns, multiple active shooters, 100 of bullets whizzing by heads, etc. All the typical hysteria we see in the first reports of any tragic mass shooting.
Early Police reports are that as many as 11 people were injured and three people are dead, in a shooting Sunday at the Gilroy Garlic Festival in Northern California.
The only thing we know for a fact at this moment is that the Gilroy Garlic Festival and the host location in Christmas Hill Park is a Gun Free Zone. That means none of the law-abiding festival attendees were armed. They were all sitting ducks.
The Gilroy Garlic Festival website clearly lists the Christmas Hill Park as a gun-free killing zone, banning “weapons of any kind”.
Christmas Hill Park is a 51-acre community park operated by the City of Gilroy in southwest Santa Clara County, California. Gilroy lists the park as a deadly Gun-Free zone.
The anti-gun Brady Center for Gun Control ranks California number one (#1) for having the “strongest” (read most oppressive) gun laws that help keep guns out of the hands of lawful U.S citizens.
We will update this story as we get more information.
Victim’s families should be suing the state, county,, city, and park for denying the victims the right to self defense.
The victims, the victims’ families and the community all deserve support. However, I wish to point out the state of California has some of the most restrictive anti-gun laws and regulations in the country but these incidents keep happening in the Golden State. Why?
Some may find my comment harsh; but, they made that bed and now they get to lay in it. Just like when I and my wife flew to Montana a couple of weeks ago. We took only carry on bags and so were not able to bring a firearm. It was a choice I made for us. I did drop by Walmart after getting the car and picked up an inexpensive pocket knife. As I also have done the times we have gone to Hawaii. Like I always say: Life is all about choices.
It also confirms that gun control laws DO NOT work. People will find a way to kill other people if they want to. Gun, knife, bat, or stone. Wake up or watch the murders keep happening!
Here is the Newspeak from the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Department web site: Applications and licenses for the carrying of a concealed weapon (CCW) are issued by the Sheriff and registered with the California Department of Justice pursuant to provisions associated with California Penal Code Sections 26150 – 26225. The Sheriff may issue a license to any person residing within Santa Clara County. However, persons residing in a municipality other than those served by the Sheriff’s Office are encouraged to first contact their local Police Chief and apply for the license.
