On Tom Gresham show last Sunday, he mentioned that he also coached the debate team. ;-)

The discussion got me thinking: Lots of antis have been complaining about the Heller decision, saying that states and cities should have the "right" to ban weapons. Too bad they don't see the flip side: localities have the power to allow their citizens to do what they see best for their own welfare.

I saw him today on Fox news. He was articulate, well reasoned and had ready answers to all questions.

At the end of the interview one of the newscasters looked at the other and exclaimed "He had some good points". The other NC couldn't help but agree. :mrgreen:

No way! :mrgreen: ;-)

Re: Harrold school district to staff: Pack your pistols

Trump said he would have advised against allowing teachers to arm themselves, if only because of liability concerns. In the long run, it could have been cheaper and safer to hire security or off-duty police, he said.

I guess I'm at a loss to understand this statement. Maybe I'm just "thick", but since the teachers are already on the payroll (and assuming they are not being compensated to carry) how could it be "cheaper" to hire security personnel or off-duty police?

Somebody help me here. :???:

Is he assuming there will be a litigation down the road if teachers carry, but not if security does?

:iagree:

Its truly a refreshing display of common sense!
"When the federal government started making schools gun-free zones, that’s when all of these shootings started," Thweatt said. "Why would you put it out there that a group of people can’t defend themselves? That’s like saying 'Sic 'em’ to a dog."

"Our philosophy here is to be prepared," he said.
