The early news was just on WJRT, ABC Channel 12 in Flint, Michigan. I was surprised at the coverage of the Colorado shootings. They actually credited the security guard for preventing a higher toll by shooting the perp!!

I heard an interview on the radio with minister at the second church saying that the armed security guard prevented a much greater loss of life by using her weapon and he applauded her. He actually went on to say that the number killed could have exceeded 100 with the amount of ammunition the gunman had.

Yep! Read the same thing in an article on CNN. They said there were three volunteer security guards at that entrance but, she was the only one armed with her personal weapon. She stopped him within 50 ft. of entering the building. I think it's a real eye opener for some of those against CCW and that type of stuff and I'm SHOCKED that they're publishing it in a positive way.

Kudos to the volunteer security guard, She saved many lives that day! Also she was a former LEO!

These are the articles we need to see to combat all the negative stuff with the upcoming DC court case coming up...

"Volunteer Security Guard" ?? BS ! This was a lady with a CCW carrying with full support of her pastor. ( heard this on the radio )

Deadcenter,

You listening to Lars again?

Tard · 12-10-2007, 08:44 PM

It's even better that a woman killed him, kinda busts the whole "the bad guy will just take the gun away from you" lie.

While everyone is praising her, they are going out of their way to make it seem like she was a security guard, because they just cannot comprehend that a mere civilian can own, carry and USE a firearm in the defense of others.

SURPRISE!
