Another school shooting - Cold Spring MN

[WonderNine]

I really wish I could carry to college. Sincerely.

I do. Sincerely.

.357 in the front pocket, Browning P35 in the backpack.

No SKS/M44/K98/Enfield/or SAR-1 in the trunk yet, but I'm seriously considering it.

Star Tribune today quotes a college professor:

http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4119571.html

McLaughlin is the son of a sheriff's deputy and a hunter. His apparent familiarity with guns means "they are lucky they did not lose more kids in Cold Spring," said Michael Obsatz, a sociology professor at Macalester College in St. Paul who specializes in bullying and school violence.

Grrrr. If only kids didn't KNOW about guns, they couldn't HURT anyone with them?



By the way, the gun used was a ".22-caliber semiautomatic pistol".

And from another story:

http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4119788.html

When asked whether the gun McLaughlin used might have belonged to his father [a Stearns County deputy sheriff], [state BCA investigator Tim] O'Malley said the weapon -- a .22-caliber Colt semiautomatic pistol -- isn't one typically issued to police.

That's not an answer. "Belonged to" is not the same as "issued to."

On the news today: McLaughlin, the 15-year-old alleged shooter, will be tried as an adult.
