Actually, I was going to mention that the shooting of Alton Nolan, the

where a gun in the right hands actually worked the way it's supposed
to.

Alton Nolan had already beheaded one female co-worker and was attacking
a second when the chief operating officer of the company, a special
deputy in the local police force, shot him before he could kill that
second female co-worker. As it stands, she was only stabbed but is
expected to make a full recovery.

I'm not "pro-gun" at all, but I recognize this case as one in which a
properly armed and trained good guy was able to intervene in a disaster
in the making and prevent it from getting worse. Were it not for that
guy using his gun to stop Alton Nolan, then Vaughan Foods could have
been in the headlines as yet another massacre of innocent people;
something that the USA has seen too many of in the past few years.

The gun holder was off duty (retired?) LEO,
and many gun haters think it's OK since it's
a government gun.


Hi Stormin',

Here is a nice article about it from Thomas Sowell:

From your other postings, it seems like you still think
I was actually threatening to hit you with a newspaper.
You do realize I never meant anything of the sort.
