Police say the black 15-year-old was fatally shot by William Pulliam, a 62-year-old white man, after they bumped into each other outside a store and twice exchanged words.
Pulliam in a jail interview said he shot in self-defense.
The Charleston Gazette-Mail reports Pulliam pleaded no contest in a 2013 domestic violence case and wasn't allowed to have a gun.
Tomblin, who leaves office in January, says Means' death brings his abiding concerns about the law "into sharp focus once again." |

| Tomblin's a moron. The law is just fine. It's the idiot that broke it that needs dealt with. |

| A law that allows permitless carry is to blame for a man being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm? Is that what you said, Tomblin, you lying sack of excrement? |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
