It's a sad reminder of the times we live in, in the US, that following the rash of shootings, retailers are now looking at documenting and planning a strategy of escape and safety, in a case of gunfire.
In a meeting today, I brought up the possibility of increasing the bullet-resistance of the storefront retail windows by adding a laminate to the glazing, as we talked about different strategies to protect customers. In the late 80s, the first time I ever saw bullet-proof windows, was at the post office across the street of the USC campus in Los Angeles -- one-inch thick solid acrylic.
Anyone living in Los Angeles can attest to the random gun shots late at night; you know they're gun shots, because they come in short, quick succession.
300 million firearms -- isn't that more than enough, for a population of about 240 million adults over 18?
