Yep. Unfortunately true.

Too bad we couldn't find all the examples of a rightous shoot and then make a hero of the shooter, saying "He/she saved 40 innocent lives today! Men, women and children." Then, when the media says "What do you mean?" We say, "Well, had this person not been capped, they were going to kill 40 more people across town." When the media says "How do you know that?" We say "See our dilima, you moron?" :mrgreen:

Maybe not, if we did this is MUST be organized right. First we must be a legal area, a County area, not in a City unless we're SURE of the law. Second, the event itself can't be threatening, that swhy I suggested a BBQ. If LE shows up, offer them a hot dog and a soda, same with the media. Make sure we have our kids eating ice cream, hell I'll be eating ice cream. All the time OUR video cameras are running. Low key, family event, having fun, just with open carry.

what about that mall shooting not so long ago. wasn't it a off duty cop that put and end to it? almost to bad it wasn't just some average joe. funny how that story went away so fast. Glen Beck had an ok show today. i only caught the last half but he only blamed the shooter and had someone on saying we should stop coddeling our kids so the can take care of themselves.
i'm going to stop watching the news for a few days so i can get the taste of vomit out of my mouth.
