Trigger Mike Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I predict that there is likely out there as we sit here a teacher or secretary or other staff member who, despite laws against it, is carrying a firearm to school everyday to protect her or his students. I have heard that some students are carrying pocket knives to school due to the school shootings. It is just a matter of time before a mentally deranged murderer mistakes a gun free zone as a safe place to commit murder and winds up laying there bleeding from a gunshot wound from a teacher or secretary. It is the natural response of any sane and normal thinking person to provide themselves with the tools to survive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Try a novella by William Forstchen: Day of Wrath. Brings up this matter, sort of. But it's the story of a large scale terrorist attack on the USA targetting schools and the highway system. This should be a must read for anyone here, or anywhere, for that matter. I'm sure real terrorists will get around to it some day. It ain't rocket science. The ending is particularly good-he nailed it. Oh, and Forstchen wrote some books about the aftermath of an EMP attack on the USA call "One Second After". And 2 sequels. Also very good reading and thought prevoking. Try them.

BullseyeBaldee Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 We see students protesting for more gun control. We know who is behind it. When is the other side going to counter protest or are they going to stay quiet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorelei Longshot, SASS #44256 Life Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Luckily some Texas school districts are allowing and some requiring that some teachers/staff carry concealed. Gun free zones don't make it safer for teachers, staff, or students. They just tell the bad guy that there won't be anyone there to do him any harm. Wrong message. Would love to see students protesting FOR concealed carry on campuses, but probably wouldn't even get reported if any students or parents ever did.

I read the book as soon as it came out. As somebody who has been there and done that as a student I wanted to see where this could lead. And although some could argue this book serves as a blueprint it should serve as a wake-up call to the entire country. This threat is real and it's multifaceted when combined with other threats today. Another interesting read from the same author is called One Second After. It is also a fiction but it addresses potential real life issues and threats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tascosa, SASS# 24838 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 As a boy in school I carried a pocket knife every day in school. We all did and never thought of attacking anyone with our pocket knives. Knives and guns hasent changed, the kids have. Lets ban kids from schools.

Tell Sackett SASS 18436 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I sort of forgot to mention the protagonist of "Day of Wrath" was a teacher who decided to go to school armed despite the law. He was the only one around who acomplished anything when the terrorists attacked. You can imagine he didn't fare real well with a Ruger 380 vs. assault rifles(or whatever-it's been a while since I read it). But he did his best and saved a lot of lives, though it cost him heavily. I can't reccomend this story enough. I think you can get it from Amazon for less than $10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
