I spent a week last year in Michigan City, Indiana visiting a friend I grew up with in Montana and he and everyone he knew were armed to the teeth and almost pre-revolutionary even then. Being a city with the Indiana State prison might have had something to do wit it. They made Texans I know look moderate.
As my neighbor says
He is investing in precious metal
LEAD.
Parents had asked school to provide an armed officer. They were hesitant until the grandmothers and mothers who had PTC said either you protector or we will. Unanimously carried!
