Yesterday evening was test night. I was seated at a table with 7 of my students reviewing their tests at the end of class. Most of the rest had left for home.

The subject of firearms came up. Somewhere they learned I am a gun guy. I am at a loss as to how this happened.

Anyway, one young man asked about concealed carry and I answered some questions for him. The remainder of the talk focused on the Sandy Hook incident. In the middle of the discussion one of the young ladies asked me if I had my license and I said yes. She said she felt better knowing she was protected. I told her that it was illegal for me to carry unless authorized by the school administrator.

She then asked me what would happen if a maniac did the same thing at our parish. I told her I would do everything in my power to destroy the perp and protect them.

I am considering approaching the administrator and asking permission to carry.

I will keep you informed.


I believe there is hope for America in our youth. I believe that this generation actually thinks more about what is going on than we realize and can see the inconsistencies in life. Not all of them are buried in video games.

Just thought I would share my experience.

One-third of young people reported growing up with a gun in the household and 36 percent reported being “very worried” about gun violence. However, nearly 40 percent of participants planned to own a gun when they have their own household, and an additional 20 percent were contemplating it.

I'm obviously missing something....easily done the last couple of months
