Before we get all excited and make too many comparisons between the responses in France and Texas, let’s take stock of what happened.
1. There was an attack by IS sympathizers in Dallas, Texas. That means there are probably quite a few IS sympathizers/members spread all over America. Many more tolerate these “savages” and blame the victims.
2. This was not a lone wolf operation.
3. This event had a $50,000 security detail. Does your church have that much security? Garland is a short 7.5 hours from where I sit at this very moment. There are no checkpoints between here and there.
4. They are well armed.
5. Obama, the FBI, Republicans in congress, our governors, our state reps are not all that concerned.
Right now, I am 36 minutes by car to Garland - I know the area as I used to live there.
On another thread I said I was hemming a pair of pants when I read on FR, two terrorists were killed in Garland and I switched to a local TV station and there it was, the situation still ongoing. I didn't know whether to continue to hem those pants, or get my handgun and then continue to hem those pants.
Everyone should have a loaded handgun easily accessible to him/her. There is no way I would have an unloaded handgun and the ammo be in the attic or locked in a safe that took time to open. My weapons are loaded and no kid could get to them.
There there is the extended family member who carries a 45 handgun. When his live in girlfriend asked if he would shoot to save her life if someone attacked her, he didn't answer - he waited and waited to answer and then said, “I might get in trouble if I shot someone.”
He is only carrying that weapon to feel macho because he wouldn't shoot to save his companion's life. Have I said both of them are liberal to the left of Stalin?
Don't have a weapon if you aren't going to shoot it to save a loved one’s life. Stupid liberals.
