This is a perfect example of how that weirdo in Texas could’ve been stopped by a teacher with a pistol. It’s criminal how the Left has put our kids in danger.
Wow! I had not heard about this. Crickets!

Cue Gomer Pyle voice...”surprise, surprise, surprise”.
Yup. Crickets.
CDC:
“What is defensive gun use? How often does it occur?
Although definitions of defensive gun use vary, it is generally defined as the use of a firearm to protect and defend oneself, family, other people, and/or property against crime or victimization.
Estimates of defensive gun use vary depending on the questions asked, populations studied, timeframe, and other factors related to study design. Given the wide variability in estimates, additional research is necessary to understand defensive gun use prevalence, frequency, circumstances, and outcomes.”

West Virginia is a Constitutional Carry state. Might have made the difference between her carrying or not carrying.
And let that be a reminder to you potential heroes that if you should try this we will investigate you to the fullest letter of the law.

Good for her, but people have gone crazy these days! Throw your life and those of others around you away just to have 5 minutes of fame by shooting up a bunch of people? (Talking about the shooter, not the defensive user)
Narrative! Narrative! Narrative!
range time is everything.
anyone can buy a gun... supposedly... using it takes practice, practice, practice.
