Soldiers who have concealed carry permits, or those who desire to utilize the right to carry openly, are denied their right to self defense. How did Fort Hood being a gun free zone, help to stop the psychopath who opened fire? Is media (the so called conservative media) asking this question? Asked by vote_usa_first - Sun Nov 8 16:13:55 2009 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments A. It didn't help. On the contrary. "Despite the fact that Fort Hood gunman Nidal Malik Hasan was a psychiatrist, the media has failed to even raise the question of whether he was taking psychotropic drugs before he gunned down over a dozen of his colleagues during yesterday s tragic rampage, a hefty indictment of how the establishment rushes to blame politics, religion, gun rights, or any other factor for mass shootings in order to hide the direct link between such massacres and the use of anti-depressant drugs.
