I think that facing three or four determined, fanatical loonies with

and whether it would happen before or after you got off a shot with your
Glock or whatever.

They have every advantage -- especially if they see you pull a gun.

I'm not against shooting a gunman in the back.



In the first place, I'd be hiding in my room, door locked, stuff against
the door playing
invisible.

In the first place, we were talking about the crowds they attacked out in
the street. You aren't in your room yet. d8-)

I hear now that 300 dead were found in their rooms.


If they come though, I'm likely going to die. I'm not going down with out
taking someone with me. Have a enough of us at the ****ty end of the
stick and their
numbers will decline.

They breed rather quickly. However, we agree that your chances are better if
you're armed.

Sometimes winning means doing your bit as you go down.


Now consider Columbine. Two kids with guns in a gun free zone. Parents
that likely owned
guns prevented from coming to the aid of the children by law enforcment
that cowardly sat
back and let kids die. Not being able to defend yourself is the most
dangerous position
one can be in.

I don't remember those things about Columbine, but it never stuck with me. I
agree about not being able to defend oneself. It's not only dangerous, it
undermines some social relationships and attitudes that I consider to be
important.

I'm not going to rehash Columbine other than I'd rather take my chances with teachers that
carry legally than be in a gun free zone.

Sounds like it was only 10 armed terrorists. Not claiming this is true since you know how
often early reports are wrong.
