"Examples of good reasons to carry a knife in public can include:
##taking knives you use at work to and from work
##taking knives to a gallery or museum to be exhibited
##the knife is going to be used for theatre, film, television, historical reenactment or religious purposes, eg the kirpan some Sikhs carry"

And they ban locking blades - they ban a safety feature!

We need to stop with the politics and deal with these people by stopping them in their tracks.

I hope Texas Tech doesn't knuckle under emotional weight. I like their attitude. Hide if you can, fight if you draw short straw. I'd like to think that makes Tech a less likely target of mayhem.

As to preventative measures, I think the best inoculation against madness is more responsibility in society. You can't mandate it, but it can be encouraged.

Whether or not there are background checks and permits, murderers are going to do what murderers do. Civil rights aren't the problem.

It may sound profane in the context of the day's news, but I firmly believe in Constitutional carry. It's OK to have permits and some restrictions now. The State needs to be reintroduced to this particular freedom. The CHL program has done a lot of that. Open carry really needs to be a non-event to further the cause of freedom, and I think it will.

God be with the families.

Forgive me for noting the uncomfortable tones in which CNN just interviewed someone who pointed out that berserkers would know they wouldn't face armed resistance in gun free zones.
