I don’t know which blog this belongs in. I’ll figure it out
later.
Armed with an evil mind and two 8-inch kitchen knives, Alex
Hribal attacked fellow students and staff at Franklin Regional High School in Murry
PA. Panic ensued as a wounded student pulled the fire alarm wanting to evacuate the building. It also had the effect of getting the
professionals moving. In retrospect not
a bad action on his part.
Hribal, called the 'suspect' by the media, was
tackled by a school official and arrested. He appears to have run through the building stabbing and
slashing people. Fortunately, of the
twenty four people injured in the attack and the resulting confusion, there have
been no deaths, but several are in serious condition.
I see a connection between Fort Hood and Franklin Regional
High School. You should too. It’s the same connection that keeps coming up
over and over.
Rabid, mad men are seldom so crazy to attack the armed and
prepared. In all fairness it does
happen. These events are usually very
short lived as are the attackers.
History shows from 1850 in West Chester, PA to the 1927 Bath
School bombing in Michigan and beyond Fort Hood in April of this year, these
bastards seek out a group of innocent and unarmed individuals for their
merciless sport. Their fun only ends
when confronted with the armed and prepared individual.
The media ignores that fact.
Instead they focus on the mental health of the attacker, or making the
private agony of the survivors public or insisting that an undefined “They”
should have anticipated it and prevented it.
We both know that every incident becomes a stage for the
political left and right to champion their messages. On several levels, I admit I don’t care about
their messages. I care about my message. And here it is:
Innocent, unarmed people will always be made into
victims. Surely there must be those among
us who would chose to be armed and willing to act when needed.
This is the cornerstone of carrying a concealed weapon: I am
armed and willing to act to protect myself and those important to me.

It’s time to allow these certified, card carrying good guys
mix anonymously into these unarmed populations.
Let's make the predators wonder who are the sheep and who are
the sheepdogs!
Tactical content
(See, I figured out which blog this belongs in.)
First the obvious.
Be armed, be prepared. Note
what’s going on and act. Franklin Regional
High is a good example of how a fire extinguisher could have ended the
confrontation. Spray them with white
stuff inside, then hit them with the outside.
Hats off to Clint Smith.
The less obvious.
One headline stated that for the stabbing victims time to
medical attention was critical. Carry a 'blowout' kit. I blogged about the course
at Weyer Tactical. The medical professionals
aren’t coming in until the police say the area is secure. If you’re in the area you are the first
responder. In fact you might have to be
your own rescuer.
Tourniquet, pressure
bandage and quick clot pads could have reduced the number of seriously
injured. Be prepared and act.
