Like a wolf killing sheep in a pen

The Maine tragedy proves a point: If only a few folks in the building had been armed, things could have gone differently. There's no rhyme or reason for such violence but there are responses that can reduce the effects.

Almost all mass shooters choose gun free zones. Like fish in a barrel. Prayers sent for all involved.

39 years ago McDonalds restaurant in San Diego had a mass shooting. It is one of the first that ICAN REMBER.
not long after that I was talking to a very educated , high IQ , successful Businessman , about the tragedy.

at the time I was a young 21 year old. His statement stopped me cold and has had an impact on me ever since.
he said "ONE PERSON WITH A FIREARM COULD HAVE STOPPED THAT! " Only one.
I have been carrying for years. I hope I will never have to be in the sit that I have to use my hand gun, but I pray that if I am that I won't hesitate. I have had many courses and encouraged everyone to seek training.

Told to me by Julius Blume, one of The Chosin Few, Frozen Chosin: :

"Just about the worst thing you can do in this life is kill a man, in fact there is only one thing worst than that... have the need and not the means."
