I wish she’d had the choice to be the latter, instead.

That's the angle every gun owner needs to push. You wouldn't pull the teeth out of a sheepdog, but those who stand guard over the most precious of all have no defense except to block the door or hide and wait for death.

How screwed up is that?

I got raised by a prison guard.

By the time I was 5, I could shoot a .22 Ruger.

Dad worked third shift and I was *expected* to protect my hopeless mom until he got home the next morning.

When I was 10, I had to point the .22 through the window of the front door at the eye of the maniac who was pounding on it.

He ‘got it’ and left.

[prison guards get a lot of newly released weirdos showing up at their houses]

Every parking lot of each school I went to had Ford pickups up with rifles in racks.

Nobody ever shot up our schools.

I knew some of the teachers were secretly/”unofficially” armed.

Most of the teachers were local rednecks who'd kick your ass soon as look at you and nobody said a word if a student acted up and got thumped for it.

Ours was a very well mannered student body.

That was from the mid-60s to late 70s.

It's all changed now, thanks to our Dem nanny state bureaucrats.

Couldn't pay me to be a kid in school, now.
