Details from McComb's Southwest Gun Club Secretary & MSFOA President:
"Mississippi has no law restricting CW carry (with a permit) in banks. The Feds have no restriction either.
The Young Woman (ex-wife and the Bank Branch Manager she was reportedly dating) that was killed on Wed. attended an NRA Personal Protection in the Home Class. She handled the firearms and training very well. The way the crime went down:
1. Ex-husband entered the rear door of the Bank.
2. Entered the first room to the right and triple tapped the Branch Manager.
3. Walked 125 feet to the front of the bank, in full view of his ex-wife.
4. An elderly disabled man tried to talk to him and was killed in the ex-wife's office.
5. Forced the ex-wife out the rear door of the bank and into his pickup truck.
6. After a 4 mile ride, she tried to exit the vehicle and he struck a tree, crushing the woman. Then while driving, at high speed he shot himself in the head and the truck crashed.
The first thing I ask is, why would the back door of the bank stand unlocked? It leads to a not-too-well used parking lot, or what you might call an alley. Also, if the bank has a policy of their employees not being able to have a CCW firearm in the bank, why didn't they have effective security in the Bank? It is the typical "GUN FREE ZONE" BS. I don't see why executive workers in a bank or any other business should be restricted from carrying legally owned and licensed CCW firearms. I also believe training should be part of this carry. Rachel Lanham (the woman that was killed) took the Personal Protection Course in 2007. She did very well in the class. If she had had a firearm in the Bank, she may have had an even chance to defend herself. In my opinion the reason the ex-husband chose the bank was he knew both his intended victims would not be heeled."
