Oh, Yeah. Hand gun against AK-47. Right.
How about getting rid of all guns?


That's what they thought they were doing at Virginia Tech. Â*It was a
"Gun-Free Zone"

There was another school in Virginia that wasn't a "Gun-Free Zone".
No deaths, gun-weilding, law-abiding cirizens held criminal gunman for
police. Â*Very few papers mentioned the fact that he was held by armed
citizens, only that citizens held him for police. Â*With that kind of
coverage, its no wonder people don't understand the value of an armed
populace.



Small town, other than for the University of Idaho, small force. One
cop on duty out on patrol, dispatch (both county and city) were the
only ones on. Guy shoots up the station from outside - no injuries,
shoots the cop coming to the call, shoots a 'Rambo" who grabbed his 45
auto and went out to "help" wounds him critically (barely survived)
and he never even saw the shooter, shoots a custodian across the
street in a church, shoots himself. I recall there was another victim
but can't recall it.

So, yes, the shooters will target cops no matter how stupid it may
be. There have been many examples of deliberate assinations of
officers but out on the street, not in the station.
