this is an interesting subject. i wonder what school board responses will be to these types of statistics. there has been argument for quite a while about allowing teachers to be armed. i think its a great idea. another idea would be to have more police hired and placed in schools, large campuses especially. the problem is that no one really knows where these incidences will occur. police departments are reactionary. i think it is well known that a reactionary stance on most things like this will end in casualties. another problem is the lack of knowledge of guns and tactics to use them by most school employees, gives them a more liberal response to this kind of subject. i imagine it will be a long time before the liberals realize that a sign that says, "gun-free zone" doesnt really deter anyone who is truly motivated enough to do harm to innocent people. just my .02$.

A refreshing acknowledgment of reality.

4:14 "so called gun free zones" liberal mentality, enough said.

I think we talked about this a year or so ago. I used to live in Blue Ash, never knew how safe I was

What they said makes perfect sense, too bad it seems that not a lot of people are willing to accept the facts.

Could well have, I don't remember.
I saw it while snooping other videos around the site after viewing the one with the cop getting shot and thought it was interesting and worth sharing.

On another note:
That head wound of yours you used as an avatar ever heal up?

I'm feeling much better...

That Franken-fruit that took a head shot and said "Ow" just struck me funny. Sometimes life feels like it is taking head shots at you and not getting the job done. The sad story behind the pic made me feel bad about using it though.

[11Bravo]

Yeah, was sad all in all.
IIRC, he killed his wife/girlfriend.

Right up this alley. LtCol. Grossman talking about this same subject.

Awesome. I'll use that fire-related vs violence related deaths statistic.

Interesting that you should bring this up. We recently hosted an active killer demonstration at a local high school for educators, staff and students to show the realities and dynamics of an active shooter on campus:

The hope is to raise awareness among the public and LE that these soft targets are high on the hit list and the importance of proper training for first responders (which includes the teachers and students) , not just SWAT.
