How many more of these will it take before people wake up to the fact that we must open schools to CCW? The sad news is that people died, and others were hurt. There is another sad fact involved here, and that is the number of people who's first thought was that this is more ammo for the anti-gun folks. How predictable they have become, huh.
So, let's get on  with the predictable dialoge shall we. How could CCW have helped in this case. I am not sure it could have stopped this one, but I think it could have saved a person or two. Maybe if it was public knowledge that people were packing, the guy would not have been there at all...........You know what? I have had this conversation too many times of late. We have all made these points to eachother over and over. How do we go about getting a common voice with which we can preach to an already bias congregation.

I guess maybe one way is by example. What I mean to say is if people do start to carry even though its not legal and these nut jobs get stopped time and time again by armed civilians maybe that is what people need to see. Putting up a gun free zone keeps only law abiding people out not the crack jobs that think they will make a name for themselves by doing this s''t. Here in Wi. we lost the CCW chance by one vote. I know I'm in violation of the law for carring but after working in a civilian capacity for one of our police depts.here for 11 yrs (no longer working for them) I learned one thing, no matter what the age of the criminal. If your attacked you have a 50/50 chance surviving. As you know a dead witness is better than alive. Its then up to you, what you do with your 50%. I'm not fooling myself I know I can get in deep s''t. But being alive and wrong is a whole lot better than dead and right The only response to arm aggression is an armed response. I hate to say it but this won't be last school incident you'll see.

There have already been SEVERAL shootings stopped by ARMED CITIZENS, Pearl Miss. school shooting, Principal retrieved handgun from his truck, Appalachian Law school, shooter stopped by 2 armed students, Trolley square Mall in Utah, Off duty police Officer carrying in defiance of no guns signs, That Church where the Lady shot the gunman. WAKE UP TO THE TRUTH, politicians don't care about you or anyone else who can't outspend George Soros and Micheal Bloomberg. All they care about is money in their pockets. Hold them responsible, Sue them as accessories to murder.
