This is the news that we awoke to this morning. Filling in more details from what I’ve heard on various radio news this morning.

New Albany head football coach Ron Price and his wife, Amanda, were shot while in their back yard around 10 pm last night. This is in a close, nice neighborhood inside the city of New Albany. Mrs. Price took their dog out and surprised somebody in their back yard. She was shot when she screamed. Coach Price responded to his wife’s screams and was also shot.

Amanda Price died of her wounds. Coach Price was wounded in the shoulder. He was treated and released from the Tupelo hospital. The murder leaves a kindergarten aged daughter without a mother.

I guess we are going to have to start packing heat just to walk our dogs in our own back yards. This is really a sad, sad story.

Yes. Get used to it. And be aware of your surroundings at all times.

It is not paranoia if indeed someone IS out to get you, and apparently they are!

Let’s be honest, in order to have a reasopnable means of self defense, one must choose to be armed at all times possible.

LTC Grossman (Killology, On killing) I think, said “ If you chose to leave your home unarmed when you otherwise have the right and means, you become a sheep”.

Carry your firearm. It is easier than carrying cop, faster than calling for one, and more likely to result in your safety than relying on one, and much cheaper to boot.

Now, don’t get all upset, LEOs indeed have thier place in the personal security continuum, and I wholeheartedly support law enforcement etc, I just don’t need them until afterwards.

If you’re not packing when you walk the dog, you might need to rethink that...........

One never knows when a bad guy might show up. Doesn’t cost anything to pack—and every day you don’t need have to use it is a good day..........

I heard about this sad news. God love the family.

I believe the daughter is three years old?

Gosh...what a tragic travesty.

I hope they find the perp, and do unspeakable things to him.
