An attack in Israel compared to the Aurora massacre

Let's not forget that just about every person that had a permit served in the military, including the women. Every man is also in the reserves. I think Israel is a tougher example to use because the military folks are just about everywhere as well.

That turns all the "rights" in the prior sentence to "wrongs".

The Luby's incident was more than a few years ago. Dr. Suzanna Gratia Hupp lost her parents in 1991. It wasn't Luby's rules that kept her handgun out of her possession, it was Texas law, that she decided to follow. And then worked to change.

For those new to the CC world, here's one of the seminal lessons.

That an armed society is a polite society; and that a heavily-armed, polite citizenry that's together on that score can make it much more likely that a violent criminal can be caught (stopped) in the act.

Versus the alternative, in which there's a patchwork of weak, ineffective steps at criminalizing citizens for mere possession of defensive tools, allowance for civil lawsuits in cases of defense against crime, and a ~1% carry amongst the out-and-about population that doesn't provide effective deterrence.

The link: that vastly improved preparedness yields untold benefits.

They taught us a cool trick, where you use your gun as an iron glove basically, if your clearing a room and come around a corner to be face to face with an attacker, using both hands you pull the weapon back into your armpit, then punch out as forcefully as you can, thus driving the front end of the weapon into the attackers face. Ultra brutal results follow this.

The Israeli Police train like Russian Spetznaz. They make our LEO's look like mall cops.

You live in what amounts to a "War Zone" for any length of time, and this will probably happen. If things don't change, we'll be there soon enough.

Not trying to hijack the thread but a commentary in my local paper today was entitled "Aurora was not Fort Hood". Contrary to our narcissistic moslem piece of garbage residing in the whitehouse, the title is absolutely correct. Aurora was an isolated act in and of itself by a crazy person. Fort Hood was a terrorist attack pure and simple. Most, if not all the attacks in Israel are terrorist attacks. Perhaps if we had a President instead of a moslem flunky we would have a government that would recognize the real world that the rest of us have to live in and understand who our enemies really are--the Israelis, unfortunately, understand who their enemies really are--we, in this country, just elect them and put them into the whitehouse.

It is the perfect example of being the right person in the right place at the right time.

That woman in Texas in the Luby's incident was Suzanna Gratia Hupp, who went on to become a Texas State Representative and is one of the best, hardest hitting pro-gun, pro-concealed carry advocates we have down here. The vid of her speaking to the government goombahs is a wonderful watch, where she eloquently dresses down the antis and their ridiculous idea that leaving civilians unarmed in the face of armed criminals and crazies is a government's worst atrocity.
