Against someone who's (in my case) 35 years younger than me, at least 100 ponds lighter than me, both of which mean faster and stronger. As a fat old man, if I'm going to hand to hand with a young punk like that, everyone's going to die, I just go first. <br /><br />If I'm armed, well... you know the saying. Beware the old man; he'll just kill you. <br /> <br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-10155991296571528842015-08-26T19:11:18.674-04:002015-08-26T19:11:18.674-04:00The ONLY one with a gun in the gun free zone was t...The ONLY one with a gun in the gun free zone was the perp...

Given the initial distance between them, it's entirely possible the assailant would have prevailed if not for that, and his general incompetence.ThatWouldBeTellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910231314995266781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-43062483127514705752015-08-26T13:42:15.000-04:002015-08-26T13:42:15.000-04:00Hasn't Hemenway's prior research been thor...Hasn't Hemenway's prior research been thoroughly debunked? Continuing to rely on his "studies" makes me question their standards (but then again, few "academics" publish papers supporting their point of view, so maybe they have low standards out of necessity?).<br /><br />I'd point out that the mindset is the most important factor; the men who responded refused to be victims and go quietly. I'd also point out that had they been armed, it wouldn't have taken six of them to subdue the bad guy, and none of them would have been harmed in the process. And I'd end by reminding them that "gun free zones" only guarantee unarmed victims; the fact that that these heroes chose to fight back anyway didn't alter the odds, which were still firmly in favor of the bad guy.<br /><br />I expect these points to be so far above the heads of the writers at TheTrace.org that they can't even make out the con-trails, but I'd point them out anyway, to anyone who will listen.<br /><br />(And 2350 on his SATs? What's the scoring rubric now? When I took them, the best possible score was 1600! Also, big deal; his work history shows no longevity -- 10 jobs in the past 8 years -- and he rarely stays in one job longer than 2 years. I wouldn't hire him!)Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09378629103793458871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4146148016062694502.post-9504100493392842292015-08-26T11:35:14.969-04:002015-08-26T11:35:14.969-04:00They also fail to mention the fact that despite th...They also fail to mention the fact that despite this person being known to several intelligence agencies as a potential terrorist with ties to terrorists, he was still walking free, in Paris, with an AK 47 and a pistol.
