A bill would require the state’s attorney general to develop a training model for school employees who are allowed to carry concealed weapons.

School boards would have to consult with local police to develop school safety protocols, if districts decide to let certain employees carry concealed weapons. The measure would shield the names of gun-carrying employees and block protocols for carrying concealed weapons from being part of collective bargaining negotiations.

State law limits the people who can have a deadly weapon in a school safety zone to security guards, on-duty officers and others whom a district’s board has given permission. The bill would allow off-duty officers to also carry weapons.

The House passed the bill 62-28 on Wednesday, sending it to the Senate

I don’t know what kind of reception the bill will have in the senate or if approved, signed by the Governor.  Let’s hope it goes all the way and be ready to hear the lamentations of the Antis assuring us that the armed teachers will become bumbling nutjobs that will shoot kids for chewing gum in class.

“The robbery happened, Monday, when a man attempted to rob the F.M. Food Market corner store, near Northwest 76th Street and 17th Avenue, in Northwest Miami-Dade.

According to police, the suspect entered the store, pulled the gun and demanded cash from the clerk. The suspect, however, did not know the clerk had a weapon of his own.

The video shows an exchange of gunfire between a clerk and the robber. The suspect is then seen taking off.”

The clerk had two guns available as seen in the video which indicates at least a decent level of smart. But the way he was holding the gun indicates that he might be in need of additional training.

And just when we thought we have gotten rid of old clichés, Miami-Dade Police lieutenant John Jenkins resurrects an old verbal zombie:

“We don’t ever advise anyone to confront an armed subject and take action in their own hands,”

If that is the best way to deal with armed people, how come it is not the way Police Officers do it? God knows that if they even suspect a gun might be on a criminal, theirs go out and sing the bang-bang song.

The clerk responded at a deadly force situation with determination and got to go home unharmed. That is the best outcome in anybody’s book.

From the evil twisted minds of Aero Precision Inc. I love the selector switch.

In an effort to fuel the fires of stupidity, it has become official to associate any crime related to firearms somewhere in the same county that has a school as a “School Shooting!”  The abuse is such that a saturation level is being reached as it happened in Purdue a couple of days ago when some teachers continued to teach even after the “ZOMG! WE ARE GONNA DIE!” alert was given.

First, let’s be clear: Crime on campuses are nothing new up and including those involved with firearms. The Antis know it, we know it and even the cat under the stairs know it. A famous case down here was Nathaniel Brazill who shot his teacher in the face and killed him.  No campus lockdown for 10 miles or calling the Navy Seals back then.

People are getting tired of the BS and they will promptly will issue the proper backlash on this stupidity. We are now to the point that if something happens near a school, they have to go Zombie Defense Alert, lower the portcullis and assume pile-up position on a corned of the classroom.

“But Miguel… it is just to be safe! There was a shooting! The bad guys might be nearby!” except when they are not. Check this example that happened yesterday not far from here:

MIRAMAR, Fla. (WSVN) — Miramar Police are investigating a fatal shooting at a Miramar home that resulted in the shutdown of City Hall and the lockdown of two schools.

Wednesday afternoon, Miramar Police homicide investigators spent the day outside a home where 23-year-old Joey Delancey lost his life. …….According to Miramar Police, early Wednesday morning, Delancey came to a friend’s home at 6100 SW 41 St. when a red Nissan Altima pulled up and a group of men in that car began arguing with Delancey. Suddenly, shots rang out and Delancey was killed. “……..The suspects took off to Miramar’s Town Center complex where an officer found a vehicle that matched the description. “The suspect vehicle was then spotted near the Town Center, parked near the library,” said Rues. “We secured the scene. We had multiple officers enter the library and detain two individuals inside the library. It appears that they are connected to the suspect vehicle.”

Police detained the men who were inside the library and told police they were looking for information on Broward classes. Police are not calling them suspects.

No problem right? OK look at this map:

So, the only place where a shooting was known to have happened was 7 miles away from where a town center and schools were ordered to freak out and shut down.

We are seeing more and more of this crap just for theater purposes. It is an inefficient usage of police resources and creates an unnecessary and constant wave of fear that makes for not the best school atmosphere. It is sadly funny that the ones that accuse us of being paranoid are the ones pushing for this constant state of panic.

You can only cry wolf so many times till it bites you in the ass.

I’m almost at my wit’s end trying to locate several firearms for disabled shooters who live in areas where they feel threatened by dangers such as home invasion, etc.  Some feel at risk when going down the street in wheelchairs, on crutches, or using another mobility aid, because gang-bangers regard them as feeble – easy prey.  Trouble is, on disability income (often no more than a few hundred dollars per month) they can’t afford to buy new or high-quality firearms for self-defense.

Time was I could find old revolvers (decent ones such as Smith & Wesson police department trade-in Model 10‘s and more modern versions such as the Model 15,Model 64, etc.) for $150-$200.  Not any more.  The diminishing supply of police trade-in revolvers, and increasing demand for low-cost home defense weapons, has meant that finding such deals is now a matter of luck alone.

Do you have an old thing way in the back of your safe that you have not shot since back when they used to give you a brick of .22LR with a purchase of a Big Mac? Maybe your first gun that it is not so cool anymore but was the only thing you could afford?

I’d be grateful if those of my readers who care about such things would please keep their eyes peeled for older, usable-condition pistols, revolvers and shotguns at low prices.  I know everyone wants them, but if you spot something like an old single-shot shotgun, or old Ruger P-series pistol, or an equivalent weapon at a price along the lines discussed above, PLEASE e-mail me!  (My address is in my blog profile.)

And I am guessing but I figure that even a couple of bucks thrown his way to at least pay for the FFL & other expenses will be a good thing.

Get in touch with him directly and pass the word to friends and family.

If you tell me it is a set up, I’ll believe you…but then again…

My Nephew and her wife (AKA My Niece because Niece-In-Law is stupid) made me very proud. They have a gorgeous daughter and with an upcoming download coming soon.

They both were raised well.
