"Volunteer civilian "guards" have been kicked off the grounds outside a military recruiting center in Lancaster, Ohio, after one of them accidentally fired his weapon.
No one was injured.
"Listen, it was a mistake. No one was injured and I owned up to it immediately with the police," 28-year-old Christopher Reed, who is accused of firing the shot, told the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette. "I'm glad no one was hurt. I am willing to take the punishment."
His gun was confiscated pending a court appearance next week.
Armed volunteers have been turning up at military recruiting centers since the shooting deaths of four marines and a sailor last week in Chattanooga, Tennessee. They say they want to protect recruiters, who are not armed."

Much more at the link of the gun nuttery that has to end, an excellent method would be much like the military just did it by just giving the gun nuts the boot - figuratively.
Effective gun controls now or armed guards everywhere from malls, to stadiums to corner stores and theatres to McDonald's and etc., etc. - better decide soon, the wait might be killing me.
Your proposed friendly neighbourhood totally untrained armed school and mall guard, by the tens of thousands fanning out across the great and fearless land of America!??

According to Tom Ricks in an intro to a Foreign Policy piece by Billy Birdzell, 90 service members have been killed in Iraq alone by negligent discharges since the beginning of operations there. Something the military talks very little about. I dont want to think about whats happened in Afghanistan.
