regulator 0 #26 January 22, 2013 I've got a better idea. Be a man and walk away. Whether you are armed or not. Then if the perp follows you and attempts assaulting or shooting you then feel free to blast his ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeorgiaDon 385 #27 January 22, 2013 QuoteQuoteAnother prime example of why college classrooms should be mandatory carry areas. Someone woulda Chuck Norrissed those dudes way before 3 people got shot for sure if it was mandatory they had their guns with them. Not the best example. What if one of the guys was an undercover cop? What if one or more of the students ccing responded, which guy do you shoot? What is people responding were even worse shots and more people got hit in the cross fire?I think that falls under "Kill 'em all and let God sort them out". Also "Freedom is not free" and "Can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs". Don_____________________________________ Tolerance is the cost we must pay for our adventure in liberty.

beowulf 1 #29 January 22, 2013 QuoteQuoteThis was an argument between two men. One pulled out a gun concealed in his chlothing and started shooting the other person. Oh, seems contrary to the common wisdom around here that concealed weapons stop crime. Another straw man argument. Currently it's illegal to carry concealed on college campuses.

There is no federal law banning guns on college campuses. It's a matter of state law. AFAIK, about 5 states do allow colleges to permit guns on campus if they so choose, and a few colleges do allow it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She said the gunman initially walked away, but then changed his mind. The shooting led to a campus lockdown and two-hour search for the gunman who got away.

ManagingPrime 0 #44 January 23, 2013 In my first week in az there was a beheading and a couple people found shot up in an abandonded car not far at all from where I was living. It caused me to be a bit more aware of the gang/cartel activity in the border states. I'm generally desensitized at this point. I'm just happy it's not my day to day experience like it is for so many. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #45 January 23, 2013 So far, we haven't had any be-headings but we do get a lot of drug traffic. Border Patrol is all-over this country. While working cattle, we have found large bundles of weed. We just flag down an Agent and point it out and it's theirs from there. I've almost trampled illegals hiding in the brush. I make like I didn't notice and point him out to the first Agent who passes. I've had illegals ask if I had work for them! It's nuts! Chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Astro's fans are the "Houstone Tango Blast" Can't figure out the Falcons fans, but I'm pretty sure they are some derivative of the bloods. 'Set trippin' at a community college...go figure. I got a quick edumication a while back from a guy my kid was rooming with when he was getting his A&P rating... I often wear a black baseball cap with gold 'Liberty Parachute Team' lettering. . .my kids roomie said lose it when visiting down there. I think he said it may designate Latin Kings, which my kids roommate 'use to claim' - their apartment down by Hobby airport was in Tango Blast. Farther east a mile or so is one of many Houstone sets. The red shirt - one of several local gangs not necessarily bloods...& the falcon hat IIFC designates a certain neighborhood which (again IIRC) is pretty close to where that campus is located, maybe a couple miles on the same Ave. Down here several gangs have intermingled to become stronger, ya see a lotta people sporting 'Crip Crown' tats and Hispanic set colors - enemies a few years ago. The gangs in Houston are a bit different than other big cities, very well organized and extremely well funded being this close to the boarder...something the gangs of New Orleans found out pretty quick when they were displaced to here by the hurricane. For a while there I think the cops just turned a blind eye and let 'nature take it's course'...it got pretty rough. WHICH brings me to my point - LOTTA gangs here, LOTTA LOTTA shootings. I'm guessing the 'school' thing is what brought this to national attention. Not saying it's right or wrong but strikes me weird it went national that quick...nobody died, just some kids having fun. Last night a young family man noticed two 'thugs' following him for a while, turning into his subdivision then onto his street, he jammed into his driveway as the two bad guys attempted to catch him...family guy makes it to the house and slams & locks the front door. Bad guys fire several shots through the front door killing him dead...as his family watched.
