1. Generation III Glocks have a built in rail for mounting a flashlight or laser aiming device iunder the muzzle and forward of the trigger guard.

2. I have a fabrication shop here at the house, and also have a Glock 21. It would take me at least three hours, dodging metal fragments and making a HELL of a lot of noise to file off the serial numbers, which occur in at least two places, on the integral barrel/chamber where visible through the ejection port, and on a receiver component showing through the composite housing. Repeat, hard work, and noisy.

3. I can instantly lay hands on every receipt for every firearm I have purchased. Very bad idea to lose this kind of paperwork, just like the title for your car. It gets special attention.

4. I fired approximately 36 rounds through my Glock the first week I purchased it. My prior pistol experience was under 100 rounds, total. At fifty feet, I made a 24” group.

5. Three months ago I purchased an airsoft (spring powered, fires a 6 mm plastic sphere) replica of my Glock to practice trigger technique, stance, and sight technique on an improvised range at home, and ran 50 practice shots through once or twice a week since.

6. Last week, for only the second time since I bought the Glock, I fired it, and was able to maintain a 6 inch grouping over 24 rounds, at 25 yards, or 75 feet. This is a greater than 4X improvement, in less than three months, without ever firing the actual pistol.

7. I have personally seen at least three people interviewed, who were inside the class rooms while the killer was shooting students, and all of them said they hit the floor when the first shots were fired, and lay there while the gunman walked around and shot people lying on the floor. Two of these interviews were conducted by one newsman at the same time, the other was a different interviewee and newsman from a different media organization.

8. I’m six feet tall, and shooting at a person lying on the floor, with my arm extended, with a Glock pistol, the range would be less than 3 feet.

9. In my opinion, this shooter felt he was losing his GF over an exended period of time, had severe mental problems, and in general felt the world was out to get him. IMO, he fantasized about “getting” those who he felt were against him, “fantasizing” substituting for actual planning. When he reached a certain level of deterioration in his relationshp with his girlfriend, he put his “plans” into practice. Not a person who snapped and went nuts, a person who snapped and went cold.

10. If you haven’t figured it out by now, nearly all detailed reports from the first 24 hours of an emergency are WRONG. Media are ignorant and liberal, speculation is permitted to replace hard work and patience, and most people forget this, until the facts begin to emerge on the second day.

11. I wish I’d been in range of this animal yesterday. I will NOT be disarmed by politicians who wish to use this incident as leverage to obtain unearned personal benefit. The Second Amendment is specific, and I stopped lending credence to any attempts to re-write or ignore it three months ago. The only form of gun control I respect is the specific wording of the US Constitution. If that changes, so will I. Until then, and in light of this incident, I will be armed, and in possession of spare magazines, 24/7. I urge all others to do the same. The police or government cannot and will not protect us, it is time for us to defend ourselves.
