Condolences

If there are any G&G members that have friends or family involved in the Va Tec shootings I would like to send my prayers and condolences. I must admit my first reaction was " oh no more ammo for the anti-gunners" But having had three daughters go through college and thinking of what my reaction would be if tis had happened on one of their campi, I realized that I thought not about the people first, but about my gun rights. One of the students who was interviwed on Mike Gallager show, put it best, Loose quote "We can have the gun debate later, let us morn for the victims first".

Wow, scary. ONE person with a CCW could have prevented the whole thing. BUT it's a "gun free zone"

i too have have sent my prayers up for the victims and thier families. i have a friend who's sister and sister's fiance are prof's there. luckily, they are both fine, but they know several of the victims. its amazing how close to home an incident on the other side of the country can hit.

It's a reminder that we're all connected, one way or another.
