If there was no need for a gun to be used at Purdue, then you would never have to see it, you freaking pansy. That's why it's called concealed carry.
Tyler doesn’t think that he will be a victim of gun violence. It will always happen to someone else but not to him.
I never thought the day would come that I would need a gun to protect myself, no not Living in Wyoming,,,till a crazed sphincter used his car to come after me in my car.I just displayed my weapon for him to see and he disappeared
No guns in school?
Yep, just sit there waiting to get shot like at Luby’s?
I heard in a movie once a woman with a gun was asked why she had one, her reply. “A gun is like a condom, I rather have one and not need it then need one and not have it.”
It was in Predator IV
Even if everyone carrying a gun goes through the background check, the three day waiting period, all the required paperwork, permits and training, something will eventually go south. The tension and paranoia would build and build until something or someone finally snapped.
Tyler hasn't taken any logic courses.
He makes some good points about the maturity of college students, but the only people eligible to carry a handgun are over 21 and that will keep weapons out of the hands of alot of the immature students.
BUT, what he doesn’t consider is the adults who work on campus. The janitors, professors, grad students, working adults returning to school, etc. They don’t engage in the binge drinking, have the silly dramas, and they laugh at the “stress” of college.
Guns could pose a risk— but no more so than youth, inexperience, passion, alcohol, and drug use and abuse when
allowed in close proximity to any tool created for self defense.
I think he is forgetting that the 18 year old kids he is thinking about will STILL not be able to carry. No one allows carry by those under 21 (that I know of)due to Federal law.
A lady friend from work some years ago, who was very beautiful, was on her way home and she noticed she was being followed by a couple of guys in a car.
Her husband trained police officers at H&K I VA. So she was their worst nightmare, trained, aware and carrying. She pulled her car into a subdivision and made several turns to see if they continued to follow her, which they did.
She pulled into a cul-d-sac so she could turn her car around jumped out of her car, placed her .357 semi-auto over the roof and racked a round in the chamber. The car pulls up and one guy gets out of the car. She tells him if he approaches her car she’ll shoot.
Well the two guys drove away and my friend was safe.
I’ll bet she and her family were glad she was carrying heat.
“Another one happened when an argument outside a night club turned violent.”
There’s a night club serving alcohol on the Perdue campus????
.357 semi-auto?? I've seen semi-autos in a lot of calibers, but not a .357. Admittedly, I am not familiar with the entire universe of handguns, but I don't recall ever seeing a .357 semi-auto pistol. Revolvers, yes (I have one....a nice stainless steel Taurus). Or is this .357 NOT .357 magnum.
THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL....
“Guns could pose risk around campus”
Lets look at the presuppositions here.
Gun’s = natural evil that they exist anywhere on the planet
Could= a chance of occurring
Pose= To present itself
Risk= again a chance of occurring
Campus= the Holyland of pseudo intellectualism where we control all thinking and behaviors.
It is a good story. Tactically, she could have done better. It would have made more sense for her to drive to the nearest fire station. Firemen are the single biggest profession that have concealed carry permits in Arizona. I suspect that it is the same in Virginia. They face difficult decisions every call, and are familiar with emergencies and how to deal with them, they are open 25/7.
I wouldn't carry the H&K with an empty chamber, but the Israelis seem to make it work.
alinsky works both ways...
I hope that I never have to see a fire extinguisher used at my child's school. There is no place for fire extinguishers at a school.
That was, of course, sarcasm. No one wants to see guns used to prevent crime. Try as we might, we cannot legislate crime out of existance. We can pass laws against honest people carrying them. That is as bad as passing a law against fire extinguishers being where they might be needed.
.357 SIG...???
