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 |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
