Glenn Beck discussing gun free zones...

[Marshal Halloway]

A good one....

I am so tired of seeing  the "Gun Free Zones" in all the places of business. Why don't they just add an open invitation saying it is a " free killing zone" for all sick demented individuals .

It could read in big bold letters:
"Come on in. If you have any type of murderous malicious intent on this establishment or on the people inside.. feel free to go right ahead and execute your plan. There will be no law abiding civilians armed in here. In fact.. you will be the only one with a gun in this whole place. How great is that for you?  Don't worry about having to reload in a hurry.. heck just take your time. There isn't a soul in this place to stop you .. and YOU KNOW IT!  So you just kill away.. while the unarmed scared sheep scatter and scramble desperately trying to stay alive."

Am I Pissed???  Ohhhhhh... you have no idea......

In an AP story today, the “big thinkers” are trying to understand why Steven Kazmierczak chose Cole Hall at NIU to commit mass murder.  Cole Hall is apparently where Kazmierczak first blossomed into an “A” student, launching a bright academic career.  The article also mentions that he kicked out of the Army after only 5 months, was fired after two weeks as a prison guard and was in a mental institution for a year.  The story goes on to describe the power drugs he was taking, as prescribed by a pshrink, more than once using the word “unknown” in describing side effects of taking them, and suddenly not taking them.   NIU spokeswoman Melanie Magara said, "There was not a hint of trouble with this guy."  (Hey Melanie, check with the Army, the loony bin and the prison.  They might be able to give you a “hint.”)

This article surprisingly does not blame the guns.  It goes to great length to say there are simply too many unknowns.  The article does end, however, with the statement by Dr. Susan Lipkins, an "expert" on violence on college and high school campuses.  "Violence is planned," she said. "Victims can be random but violence is rarely random. So he knew there would be a whole lot of people available to him to carry out his crime, and they were sort of like sitting ducks."

Well, Beam Me Up!  Isn’t that what we’ve been telling them for years?  Isn’t that what politically correct “zero tolerance” and “gun free zones” are all about? 

That didn’t stop Chicago Mayor Richard Daley (who is protected by a platoon of armed police officers) from once again playing his broken record about assault weapons, sniper rifles, microstamping, trigger locks, and limit handgun purchases to one per month, none of which have anything to do with the campus shooting.  (If you don’t know what a broken record is, ask your parents.)

In this case, I'm pro-choice.

The Gabe Suarez thread puts it in real life terms. Being a sheepdog is not always fun, and hard choices must be made. Anybody have info on a CCW permitee shooting a bad guy in a GunFreeZone? None I know of.    Mac

Yes actually there was one wrote about in American Handgunner by Massad Ayoob about a teacher who had a CCW but could not have it with him so he kept it in his car when one day unfortunately he needed it got to it and stopped he rampage , he was charged with having a weapon in a school zone and blasted by the parents of the school, its to bad that real heroes get the punishment

Hey Marshal, The only problem with the Beck video is that Oregon, Where Ms. Katz teaches , there is NO law prohibiting her from carrying legally in school. It is the school board policy that prohibits this, Like drug testing, and parking lot bans,if you want to work there they require you to surrender your constitutional rights.
Pioneer, Are they trying to say there was no hint of trouble from a guy who was to crazy for PRISON ? Like the poster by the way.
Gunman, That was the Principle of the school in Pearl Mississippi.
