A Ray of Hope!

This note from a large retailer in the Midwest:

"I just negotiated the sale of fifty G19s to a local, private university. In light of recent events, this university's officials have decided to covertly arm their entire security staff, as well as a number of administrators and professors. As part of the deal, we'll also be providing concealment holsters, ammunition, accessories, and training, for these newly-armed academicians.

As one might expect, this is all being done with extreme secrecy, as it constitutes an embarrassing admission by them that everything they've done up until now to insure campus safety has been a painfully obvious failure, all pseudo-rationalizing, excuse-making, and self-deception notwithstanding. They have finally admitted to themselves that they've been going in the wrong direction!

This small group of weary and frustrated, but courageous, academicians have, at long-last, been compelled to confront the incontrovertible fact that there is only one way to effectively deal with VCAs, and that is to confront them, at the critical moment, with deadly force. There is no other viable alternative!

We've opened the door at least a crack!"

Comment: In our time, we have witnessed barbarous murders and mayhem in every place pandering politicians have naively assured us is "safe:" schools, federal buildings, military bases, churches, parks, restaurants, and our own homes. Naively declaring these places "Gun-Free Zones" hasbecome a cruel joke!

In UT and TX, legislation is moving forward that will officially permit qualified and licensed adults, including students and staff, to go armed on campus, as they do everywhere else. Legislation is also moving forward to officially allow licensed CCW holders to go armed in parks and other public property.

Some of us, without apology and unwilling to wait on slow-motion politicians, go armed in all those places now! We are even so bold as to believe it is our civic and moral duty.
