What part of "Gun Free Zone" did this guy not understand?

LANCASTER, Calif.—An auto theft suspect with a handgun concealed under a back brace opened fire in the Lancaster sheriff's station jail booking area.

There are so many holes in this story it's hard to being. This guy probably didn't have a Concealed Weapons Permit, so it would be illegal for him to hide a weapon on his person and if there's one thing I've learned in life, it's that criminals will obey laws if you just make enough of them.

Second, a police station is a Gun Free Zone (well, besides all the guns the police have). That alone should have given Mr. Broussard enough pause to force him to disarm himself before entering. There's a law about that that binds Mr. Broussard quite strongly and he has no option but to comply.

Finally, it is very illegal to shoot at people. I can't believe a criminal would break that law.
