But

I would agree locking the door would be best if possible, but if the killer is in the room, you'll die waiting for the police

Your argument is hollow

Since both of the actual shootings you mention the guns were very traceable

The Arizona killer and the VT killer both bought their guns from FFL dealers, and passed the NICS check, if that somehow exposes a "Gun Show Loophole", you'll need a better explanation. Also the FBI UCR says homicides are down.

Both students had "absolute knowledge of the security systems and the layout of the school," Bond said. "They knew where the security cameras were. Their original plan was to set off explosives during an assembly.

The new trend is not going to school and shooting classmates, it is figuring out how to get a "Higher score", and at some point some of them won't get caught. It is just a matter of time.

A sadness occurred to me today,
When an innocent act can have dangerous repercussions it is sad. There is a large packing bubble laying in the yard here at work where we smoke. I was going to pop it but on second thought I was concerned someone might shoot back at me. lol

CCW without permit

fails in Colorado

Maybe the Deputy's

Finger should be taken out of service, after "misfire"

A chief deputy found that when the slide of the handguns is brought back a short distance and goes back down again, the weapons would fire on occasion

So why didn't they go off when they were being loaded?

Somebody picked the wrong house

Homicide rates way down

Most likely cause for the drop, are advances in medical treatments, lessons learned on the battlefield are applied on the streets, if the "victim" is alive when EMT's arrive, chances are good he will recover.

Decided to build an AR to go along with my Wilson CQB

Tech Stuff, the CQB is a 9mm, and it came with an extra fitted 38 Super barrel, it has an Ambi safety, crowned barrels, and night sights. The AR has a Wilson Light weight 1/9 twist barrel, YHM Sights, Magpul handguards, Tango Down grip, CMMG lower parts kit, built on a PARA USA lower, and a "New Spirit flash hider, the rest is pretty much std mil spec parts

How can an Instructor do that?

My shooting career began with the NRA basic pistol course, which is a fantastic foundation, but left me feeling, well, empty. I aced the written exam, was only given the opportunity to shoot six rounds and was sent on my way

6 rounds? That is not enough, not nearly enough, that is just enough to know what it is like to fire a pistol, not enough to learn to shoot a pistol.

What A Hit Piece

Let's act ;llike we know what we are talking about, yes there should be a concern that LEO killed was up 20% (Real Number around 16),  and of course not every officer was shot with an "assault rifle", some were killed with their own guns, or by fellow officers, or some that died  in 2011, were shot 30 years ago.
But don't leave it up to ABC to tell the truth.

You are correct Bonnie

But as it turns out, bears are not the greatest danger at Mt. Rainier. Rangers told us they largely ignore humans unless they’re provoked. It’s unfortunate that the same can’t be said for some people.

Which is why law abiding persons who have no intention of commiting a crime, should be allowed to carry the means to protect themselves, because people like Ben Barnes don't give a dam about the rules or signs, and if you get in their way they will hurt or kill you.

You can choose to be a sheep, but if you do, do not complain about the price you pay when you encounter the wolf.

Seal shots himself in head

To show a woman that  his gun was "Safe"

The last thing you do to prove a gun is safe is violate all the primary safety rules.

Everyone knows you don't drink and drive, and you don't drink and handle guns.
You Do Not point guns at things you do not want to destroy, and you always keep your finger off the trigger until you have made the decision to fire.

Lastly no matter how highly trained you are, bullets will not bounce off of you.

Firearms sales, nearly 16,500,000 NICS checks, which is up from 2010 at 14,400,000

Of course the Brady Bunch will say there are fewer gun owners, they are just buying more guns, but I do not believe, a smaller number could substain those kinds of numbers.

Backward & Forward

Looking back, at 2011, it wasn't a bad year classes were a bit light about 30% lower, but I made enough to pay the bills, and for the materials.

Health was good, so that is something.

I got to attend some good training from The Warrior Summit, 2 Bulletproof Mind Seminars, The Homicide In America Super Tour, and the Vickers-Hackathorn 1911 Celebration class in Oct. and the NRA Annual meeting.

So for 2012  I hoping for fair skies,  2 or 3 more students per class, I'm looking forward to Tom Givens class on Combative Pistol here in May.

I'll also hope the country can get on the right track, and really hope the engine does not derail completely.

But as usual I'll do my best to prepare for the worse, and continue to pray for the best

All the best to all you, and your endeavors in the new year.
