That's more justification for the gov't to deny PTSD patients access to firearms and ammunition.

So tragic and what makes it worst is he spent his time helping these PTSD folks.

REST IN PEACE.
I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

Yeah heard about that yesterday on a car forum.  Was hoping it was purely a range accident, something like getting shot in the leg.

Condolences to his friends, family, wife & kids.  :(

Anyone know anything about the one that shot him?

As I learned today he's a Marine Veteran who served in Iraq and has apparently been out of the Marine Corps for about 4+ years now.  And as standard practice he's been tested for PTSD prior to his exit of service.  What's interesting is that according to sources he wasn't diagnosed by the Marine Corps. 

What makes this even more interesting is that I know of a Marine who served closely with him in Iraq.  They are absolutely shocked that this guy is suffering from PTSD, and based on their friendship they find his recent actions unbelievable.  It's to the point that they are speculating and is digging even deeper themselves to try and uncover any truth.  I'm assuming at this point that it's due to his MOS as it wasn't in the 03 field (Infantry) so it's questionable as to what PTSD could he be suffering from let alone the limited action they have potentially seen?  I'll let you all know what I find out if my source has anything more to add.
