It Finally Happened

After the Virginia Tech shootings I wrote a piece about how just one student or faculty member could have made a difference had they been armed. Certainly I wasn't the only one. There were even Virginia Tech students who wrote that they were qualified for conceal/carry permits, but had not carried their weapons because the school banned them from doing so. Of course the argument makes the liberals go absolutely ballistic with their quick comparisons to the "wild west" and their bumper sticker slogans about needing "less guns, not more." I kept hoping something like this would happen. And now it has.

Yesterday, another 20ish disturbed young man shot several people in a Denver suburb and then drove to Colorado Springs and attacked a church full of people, killing people at random. But lo and behold, an armed church goer, a woman who volunteered as a security guard, pulled out her own gun and shot the loser dead. According to reports she charged him with her gun drawn and probably saved hundreds of lives. The shooter was just "walking and shooting" when she confronted him. Reports say that he had "thousands" of rounds of ammunition on him along with three guns. He had written on a blog that he intended to kill as many Christians as he could
