DENIAL CAN BE DEADLY. I Repeat: DENIAL CAN BE DEADLY.

DENIAL - I do not need to have a weapon in places like a church. The 1st link is ONLY 1 example of why I think you do, when and where legal.

DENIAL - I am safe at work. The conclusion at the end of the study states that violence is reduced dramatically when guns are prohibited from the work place. Do you want to count on that?

The following is an excerpt from Lt. Col Dave Grossman's Bullet-Proofing the Mind. You can go to this link to read more from Lt. Col Dave Grossman: http://www.buckeyefirearms.org/node/5437

4) Hunt down and eliminate every bit of denial in our lives

"Denial is the enemy," Grossman repeatedly warned. Citing examples ranging from the 9-11 terror attacks to a litany of school shootings, including one in his hometown of Jonesboro, AR. Grossman's own son was attending school in Jonesboro that day, and when Grossman first learned of a shooting at a middle school he had to turn on the television to find out whether or not it was his son's. It was not.

"The worst thing that can happen is someone coming to kill our kids. Folks, someone is coming to kill our kids."

In effort to shake his students from their denial, Grossman noted that we are facing both Internal and External Threats The Internal Threat is that "kids and perverts are coming to kill our kids." The External Threat is that "terrorists are coming to kill our kids."

Citing the horrific attack by Islamic terrorists on the Russian school in Beslan, Russia, where after more than three days of rape and murder, more than 350 people died - half of them children.

(To get over a little more of your own denial, watch the following footage from the 2004 massacre) Go to the above link to see video.

To illustrate the level of denial in this country, Grossman noted that when HBO did a special on the Beslan terrorist attack, they completely omitted any mention of rape.

Grossman posed the question of how many kids have been killed by school fires in the past 25 years in all of North America. The answer, ZERO.

He then noted that in 1998 alone, school violence has resulted in 35 dead, 250,000 injured. And lest you think 1998 was an anomaly, Grossman noted 48 died from school violence in 2004.

The reason fire doesn't kill school kids, Grossman explained, is that "fire guys have set up multiple redundant, overlapping layers of protection." No one calls such extravagant fire prevention efforts into question, "yet we try to prevent violence," Grossman observed, "and people think we're crazy. DENIAL!"

"Denial has no survival value" became a repeatedly used phrase throughout the day, usually to punctuate another case study example of a place where the lack of preparation for a potential deadly force encounter (no one prepared because they were in denial) got people killed. Thanks to denial, "teachers aren't prepared for violence. ...If they had done a fraction of preparation for violence [at Columbine] as they had done for fire..."

"Why did we have to wait until after Columbine to change our training and coin the word "active shooter?" Denial!

Observing that the Virginia Tech mass-murderer chose the building he attacked because it had no ground-floor windows and only three double-doors that could be chained from the inside, Grossman asked "how many kids have to die before every class has two exits and a securable door?"

"If teachers can be fired for failure to do fire drills, how much more mean and ugly should we be to those who refuse to prepare for violence?


There are plenty more examples available to illustrate why I believe those who are SHEEP DOGS should ALWAYS have their weapons with them at all times when and where legal. Just do a Google search.
