Uncle points out a headline witha pretty powerful unintended meaning: Students' Sense Of Security Shattered By Gunman On Campus

The story says that some of the students don't feel safe anymore on their college campus because a gunman came around and robbed an entire classroom at gunpoint. Nothing prevented him from killing the class full of people aside from the lack of a homicidal tendency. Apparently, some of them felt safe because nothing like this had never happened to them before.

I went to the maul mall this weekend with my family. I intentionally left mi pistola in the car, trying to be a good citizen (as opposed to a felon) and not carry where doing so is prohibited. I felt as exposed to danger as I ever have, and that includes when I spent a couple of years in a place with a big target painted on it. I thought back to all the stories I've read of mall shootings and my beltline felt sorely inadequate without a holster on it. I guess that makes me different.



If I ever start a business of my own, it will have a sign something like this:
