Protect out kids, not the opposite...

A gun in the hands of a Secret Service agent protecting the President isn't a bad word. A gun in the hands of a soldier protecting the United States isn't a bad word. And when you hear the glass breaking in your living room at 3 a.m. and call 911, you won't be able to pray hard enough for a gun in the hands of a good guy to get there fast enough to protect you.

So why is the idea of a gun good when it's used to protect our President or our country or our police, but bad when it's used to protect our children in their schools?

They're our kids. They're our responsibility. And it's not just our duty to protect them, it's our right to protect them.

What a neat display. Fun day with the kids.

Plus, all these people elected to be preserved for posterity. ;)

"Mom, you almost have it!"

There is NO hope for these boys with their geek father AND their geek mother! ;)

I think we might be here a while!

They're coming...!

Col. Grossman was a Professor of Psychology at West Point, retired Army Ranger, an author nominated for the Pulitzer Prize, and one of the nation's leading experts on violence and violent crime. 

This weekend I was remembering  something 
Col. Grossman said last summer at his Bulletproof Mind Seminar. 

His words continue to echo in my head...

I was at this particular seminar, and he told the 300 men and women in the audience that the next targets would be...

  • The Movie Theaters...
  • The Shopping Malls...
  • Our Children's Schools...

In the last 6 months we've seen each of these tragedies unfold. The movie theater in Colorado, the shopping mall in Oregon, and now the elementary school in Connecticut.
