Providence willing, we none of us will find ourselves in a situation like that in this lifetime, but it is irresponsible not to consider the possibility and to plan for such an occasion. Like Tam said sometime ago- I'm not going down cowering under a desk. Not like that. I'll muster every ounce of <EM>hausfrau rage</EM> at my disposal, should the need ever arise, and if all I have to defend myself with is a can opener, well, it'll have bad-guy bits stuck to it when I'm done.phlegmfatalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08636803080525003892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-58760348885864788422008-11-30T19:02:00.000-05:002008-11-30T19:02:00.000-05:00I can't think of an instance here where police hav...I can't think of an instance here where police have stopped a mass shooting once it is under way except: the Salt Lake City mall shooting back in February when an off-duty officer intervened, and the University of Texas tower sniper in 1966.<BR/><BR/>When I was an LEO, I sometimes caught myself thinking I was nothing but a blue-clad sanitation worker. We got there in time to work the crime scene. Murder-suicides, msinly.<BR/><BR/>Gun-free zones are target-rich environments. Metal detectors at the door are simply window dressing. At worst, they channel victims into a narrow field of fire. They won't stop losers trying to be infamous.Somerledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11027195332132735795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-17844391924484732202008-11-30T17:54:00.000-05:002008-11-30T17:54:00.000-05:00Another thought...

"When you get to the next world, tell your pals there that <I>they're next!</I>" Maybe it's just frustration talking but I'm sick and tired of yammerheaded "freedom fighters" who think shootin' commuters, shopkeepers and random unarmed others constitutes effective action and advances their cause. It's time we all fought back, using whatever means are at hand.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-79128168581739431162008-11-30T14:10:00.000-05:002008-11-30T14:10:00.000-05:00The choice in these types of situations is to die ...The choice in these types of situations is to die on your feet or on your knees.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Personally, I would do my damndest to send a vanguard into hell before me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-16380946384522762482008-11-30T13:30:00.000-05:002008-11-30T13:30:00.000-05:00I heard that statement too, on Fox News.

I wonder if it was shown elsewhere. <BR/><BR/>Every time I hear of one of these things, I wonder how quickly it'd be stopped had the general public been armed and proficient in the use of their weapons. <BR/><BR/>Some would still have been killed, but a far smaller number than is now the case.Col.
