‘In 2004, Gerry Katz, who had a concealed weapons permit, was arrested for pulling a .38-caliber revolver after a confrontation that began in a parking lot with two men whose car almost hit his. ‘
Its long been my view the most serious damage done to the 2nd amendment is by dumb gun owners.
This is a perfect example. He pulled a firearm because somebody ‘almost hit’ his vehicle?
Talk about bad judgement, and uncontrolled temper......
NOW that all the students will know she carries, if she is allowed to carry in her school, they will know where to find a gun in school. rme
You weren’t there but based on the newspaper report you are ready to say “dumb gun owner.” The charges were dropped. Those two men might have been threatening. Pulling the .38 might have been sensible under the circumstances.
What is so strange about this thread is that the woman will presumably be carrying at the mall, in church, in restaurants, in the movies,on public transit, and at the ball game. She threatens kids as much there as in school. What is it about school that will make people considered safe to carry in any other venue suddenly more dangerous?
In Israel, teachers can carry at school if they want. It would seem that given the mass murders in schools here and abroad it makes more sense to adopt the Israeli approach than to pretend that people are somehow safer if they can’t mount an armed response to a school invader.
