Re: Can a CHL enter school as first responder?

I'm sure someone will chime in on the legality of the action, but I will just say from a personal perspective. If there is something I can safely do to protect anyone, and said action will not endanger someone I love (ie I'm not leaving my girlfriend unprotected), I will do it. I don't care if there is a law against me going in to that school building or not, I am going to try and help and ill face the consequences later. If I can save the lives of a hand full of children and it merely means I have to deal with the legal consequences, then so be it. I will not stand idly by and let undue harm come to an innocent, my conscience would not allow it. Again, please note I said safely, in any situation the last thing that is needed is someone playing hero and being reckless, but having an open shot at someone otherwise engaged is an easy decision. One each person has hopefully taken a mental effort to understand, and rightfully should have as part of the responsibility of being a chl holder. The mall situation where the chl holder didn't shoot comes to mind. He prepared for action, but couldn't safely take it so he didn't.
