"Most who have spent any amount of time afield or along a firing line develop a sort of sense about people they feel safe around and will continue to join in hunting or shooting activities.
They are people who understand common courtesy, exhibit self control, are respectful of others, and instinctively practice safe gun handling. They have a keen understanding that the things they hold in their hands are not to be pointed at anything they don't want to shoot or kill." |

Indiana State Senator Richard Meeks (R-LaGrange), who authored one of the bills, said the legislation is based on his favorite passage from the Indiana Constitution, which states, "The people shall have the right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the state." Meeks said lawsuits blaming gun manufacturers for the actions of a third party are wasteful, and his legislation aims to stop such lawsuits. |

Apparently the gunman chose a bad time -- there was a cop in the building when he opened fire. No one dead, and the wounded include the alleged gunman. Yet, liberals will undoubtedly continue to oppose having armed persons in schools, despite the obvious differences between this and the Santee incident. |
