Mass Killings Stopped by Armed Citizens Saturday, December 15, 2012 13:10

The are several documented cases where armed citizens have stopped mass attacks by gunmen. Let me list a few: The Pearl, Mississippi school shooting was stopped by the vice principal Joel Myrick with a Colt .45, The Appalachian School shooting was stopped by two students with handguns. Both of the above incidents were stopped by the armed citizens threatening the shooter without firing.

Plans to slay everyone in the Muskegon, Michigan, store and steal enough cash and jewelry to feed their “gnawing hunger for crack cocaine” fell apart for a band of would-be killers after one of their victims fought back.

The mass church shooting in Colorado Springs was stopped by the shooter being shot by a church member with a CCW permit.

The Santa Clara gunshop shooting in 1999 was stopped by an armed citizen after the shooter declared that he was going to kill everyone. Police found a list of intended victims in his car. Only the perpetrator, Richard Gable Stevens was shot.

Just recently, in Early Texas, armed citizen Vic Stacy shot and stopped a deranged man who had just murdered two neighbors and was firing at police with a rifle. Stacy made a very long shot with his revolver, three times as far as the perpetrator was from the police officer, who had an AR-15 type rifle.

That sounds like a very good story… but it never made the national news.

I wonder who made the decision to spike that story.

Of course, when a mass shooting is stopped by an armed citizen, there are not as many victims. This leads to the charge that it would not really have been a “mass shooting”.

With reference to the Shady Hook school tragedy, I don't know if an "armed citizen" in the school would have helped any. The principal, after all, was the first person killed.

Having every teacher holstered up has its problems. There are, frankly, some teachers that shouldn't be carrying deadly weapons. The gun for a teacher works only if that teacher has a faster draw and better aim than the bad guy - and if the teacher is willing to shoot to kill; not every teacher would be a good shootist. Would the teachers be trained and made to do frequent target practice? Would the teacher take the gun home with him/her or leave it in the school overnight? What if the teacher didn't want a gun in her own home, even if only for nights and weekends? Suppose some kids grabs the teacher's gun?

The teacher presumably would be carrying this gun within reach at all times while on the job. This means the teacher would have a holster and gun where the kids would see it every day all day; it's possible these kids would grow up feeling that having a gun on one's belt is normal and acceptable.

On the other hand, giving guns to all the teachers would probably make the teachers' unions far more effective in negotiating for pay increases and the like, and probably no one would dare cross a teachers' picket line.

Texas school where teachers carry guns prepared to protect students

Texas Gov. Rick Perry urged school districts to review their plans to ensure they are prepared to respond to incidents such as the horrific shooting at a Connecticut elementary school Friday.

David Thweatt, superintendent of the tiny Harrold school district in northwest Texas, believes his staff is ready.

Besides special locks and security cameras, an undisclosed number of staff members and teachers carry concealed handguns.

Thweatt said the "guardian plan," which drew international attention when it was implemented in 2008, definitely enhances student safety.

"Is that 100 percent? No," Thweatt said Friday in a telephone interview. "Nothing is 100 percent. But what we do know is that we've done all we can to protect our children."

At the time the plan was put in place, Harrold, about 150 miles northwest of Fort Worth, was the only known public school district in Texas and the U.S. that allowed staff members and teachers to carry concealed weapons. Thweat said he knows of some other districts that have since adopted similar policies, but declined to name them.

Harrold school officials do not announce which teachers are "packing" and those participating must have proper concealed carry licenses. They must also be approved by the school board to carry on school grounds.

Board members approved the measure because the district is at least 20 minutes from the nearest station of the Wilbarger County Sheriff's Department.

The district has one school, with about 110 students and 15 teachers, according to the Texas Education Agency.

"We have one entry to the school," Thweatt said, adding that special locks can be activated from his office. "We also have the cameras, but we didn't have anything to deal with an active shooter."

The guardian plan was researched for more than a year before the school board considered it. Some board members didn't like it.

"My board at first didn't want to be the poster child for this," he said.

But Thweatt said he wanted to minimize casualties that could quickly increase while waiting for deputies. He didn't want a plan where you "lock yourself in your closet and hope that an intruder won't hurt you. So what we came up with was a policy that would protect."

Still, the strategy draws criticism from people who "don't believe guns, kids and schools mix," Thweatt said.

There has not been an incident on his campus, and Thweatt doesn't expect one.

He said his heart was heavy after learning of Friday's shooting in Connecticut, in which 20 elementary school students were killed by a 20-year-old gunman.

"It's just tearing me up," he said. "...I have children of my own. I can't stand to think of my little guys just getting slaughtered like that. My heart just bleeds for these people.

Say what you will about Hairdo, I think it was quite smart of Perry to make it known to MSM that he supports schools having a locked and loaded defensive plan in place. He's advising kooks in America that their dream of 15 minutes of fame would be a very short 10 second gurgle if they try to pull anything in Texas.

It's interesting that the recent mass killings have not taken place in Texas or Florida - 2 states that are armed to the teeth. Killers ( and their manipulators) like gun free zones like schools and theaters and malls and states like CT and Colorado and CA. - for good reason.

On the subject of Governors, what's up with our "beloved" Moonbeam? He is MIA. I would have thought after Sandy Hook happened, Brown would be hogging the mike 24/7 urging Messiah to use an Executive Order to outlaw guns in 'merika.But I haven't heard a peep from Brown.

He has prostate cancer.

I think he is leaving it up to the legislature so he doesn't have to take the heat. State senator is going to push legislation requiring you to register to buy ammo.
