Maroon Alert at TAMU about "armed subject"

[74novaman]

Hm, now they're reporting person was not a member of the Corps.

Could be a halloween costume.

its possible he was on recon. There have been non-regs on recon or seals before I know.

Should be a great incident to work us closer to campus carry. Hopefully legislature will agree.

And you better be sure to wear long shirts when in class LOL
I forgot what you said in an earlier post, if you'd be carrying your 1911 or going smaller.
Good benefit of being an LEO

I start back in January, even w/o CHL carry, I'll be armed. I'll make sure that my buddies at UPD know who I am though, so I'm not shot in a case of mistaken identity.

Heck, if I was back in college and knew what an LEO in my class carried, I'd carry spare mags for him .... just in case, since I can't carry in class.

I used to do that before CHL existed for my Pasadena officer friends, but I knew what they carried because I either gifted or sold them their guns, to get them away from issued revolvers. )I started giving Glocks away after my buddy officer Jeff Ginn got killed while reloading his Dept issued revolver, till I ran out of money)

That's something I noticed after the UT incident too--the school administrators are all patting themselves on the back because the alert system worked, when in fact it was 20-30 minutes until the first alert was actually sent out to the student body. If either incident were actually someone intent on harming other people, they would have all the time they needed before any notification was sent.

That is most excellent.

Now this other news release
Constable: Replica weapons can be just as deadly as the real thing

As did the SWAT team that responded to the situation at Texas A&M. Fortunately, it didn’t come to that.
"If they get the green light to shoot, that suspect is DOA," Trevino said.

Ummmm no law was broken ... even if it had been a real rifle outside the buildings at A&M
(Unless the misdemeanor of disorderly conduct was involved)

Even the Statesman admits (about Tooley) ...

"legally allowed to carry his loaded AK-47 on sidewalks around campus, and only broke the law when he fired it and carried it into a campus building, according to authorities"

First, note that the headline is disinformation --a lie. The media knows a lot of people only read headlines, and/or the first paragraph of an article. The headline suggests something entirely different than what the Constable said.

This isn't accidental. The MSM takes every opportunity to spread disinformation and confusion about gun rights and the right to self-defense. It may seem like they are a little conflicted in the methods, but the objective is the same in both cases: create fear of guns in the general population. They want people to be simultaneously afraid of any gun anywhere and to believe that the law itself is scary and allows us wackos to carry guns everywhere. Hence, be afraid, very afraid, of anything that even looks like a gun, and hey, some nut can legally carry a gun out in the open.
