Specialists the top recipients of Medicare money

School safety is critical

The number of school shootings seems to have recently increased exponentially. Daily strip searches of students, staff, and visitors for guns, knives, and other weapons will not eliminate problems. Weapons are not the problem, human behavior is the problem. “Weapon free zones” create killing fields. One or two armed police officers would not stop a determined killer. They would be the first killed. Immediate defense to protect schools requires well trained teachers, staff, and parents. Legally carried concealed weapons (lethal or non-lethal) can quickly limit or prevent harm. Rapid response (seconds, not minutes) requires both well trained people and immediate access to weapons to disrupt the attack. Custom shotguns, securely stored, with ballistic bean bag ammo could disable threats with less danger to other people.

Shootout at the museum

EPHRATA — It was a fairly peaceful Saturday afternoon in the old West town. The dusty gravel street had a few people meandering about between the print shop, the general store and the doctor’s office. Others stood idly on the wooden sidewalks. Suddenly off near the saloon, a couple of drunks began shouting and waving their guns between swigs from the whiskey bottle they’d been passing back and forth. A sheriff’s deputy tried to reason with them a little, but everybody knew what was going to happen. One sot took aim at the deputy, and a few bangs later, both lay dead in the street, the bottle leaking next to the bodies.
