This is a difficult time when so many have been killed by someone unknown, crazy or not, we just don't know all of the details as of now.
But, in a similar incident last year at a school in WV, several students went out to their trucks and grabbed their guns, turned them on the perp, and held him until the police FINALLY arrived. This saved many lives, because the students themselves could protect themselves.
When we create gun free zones in schools, we let the perp know in advance that he will find no guns there to stop him. If someone pulls a gun on you and wants you dead, and you have no gun, then you are dead. Under the same scenario, if you have a gun, then maybe you are not dead.
This week a paralyzed lady was trapped in her house, the house caught on fire, she called 9/11, she was put on hold over and over again, she died in the blaze. I have listened to the 911 tapes played on the radio, it is very sad.
When seconds count, the police are minutes away, and sometimes they just put you on hold.
DL is teaching me how to handle a gun, for the first time in my life I want to learn how to use one.
