Sheriff urges people to carry legally licensed guns in wake of San Bernardino school.
Heard this on the morning news. Is this a knee jerk reaction or is it saying we all should carry, if legal, and if there is a reason to stop a terrorist attack or any attack, we should start staying armed? Remember, there are people in our country who hate us, and this would give them permission to carry also, if they have a permit. IMHO, it's a knee jerk reaction. It's asking for more trouble than there already is. I carry mine, but not everywhere. Starting in January 2016 we Texans, can carry openly like in the old west days. I'm hesitant about this happening also. I'm not convinced every legal gun owner has enough common sense to pack heat all of the time, concealed or not. Right now we are at war with ISIS and the Islamic extremists, but that shouldn't start a war here. I don't know. I'm concerned about terrorism in our country like all of you are. If it begins to become a Jihad on our soil, I'll be 100% behind it. What do you think?
And now the rest of the story:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A sheriff's office north of New York City encouraged licensed handgun owners to start carrying their firearms on Thursday, one day after a mass shooting claimed 14 lives and injured 21 others at a social services center in San Bernardino, California.
In a Facebook post, the Ulster County Sheriff's Office urged residents to exercise their Second Amendment rights "in light of recent events that have occurred in the United States and around the world."

One thing that all of these mass shootings have in common is that they target people who can't put up a fight. Basic military idea of force protection is hardening the target. Why not apply this concept to the general population?

SGT David T., Didn't you see all those recycles in basic and AIT, and all those rejects that didn't make it out of AIT? I rest my case.

In particular, one when I was a 1SG and another in a Bn. Both were carefully supervised when around vehicles or live rounds!

CSM Charles Hayden, I never knew if they ever made it or not. We had one in basic that was cross eyed and whenever we were moving, if we came to a creek, he fell in. We used to make bets that he would. Another idiot freaked out in grenade training and threw the grenade, but it didn't make it over the bunker. The DI picked it up and tossed it. We hit the deck. He was never to be seen again.

That is another shooting incident waiting to happen. The likelihood of people trying to embrace their inner "John Wayne" would be too great and do more harm than good, IMHO

SSG Michael Hartsfield, I agree with that also. Coming up with the open carry law, IMHO, is asking for big trouble.
