Dr. Ben Carson, candidate for president, has gotten into trouble for his comments about guns. The good doctor suggested that having well trained and licensed teachers in classrooms could deter attacks such as the recent community college in Oregon. These kind of comments start a feeding frenzy with liberals and media talking heads. I hate to mention it, but there is a tiny community in north central Texas near where I grew up that now has a sign posted on their schools. The signs proclaim they have armed teachers. No gun free zone for them.
Dr. Carson also said that had he been at the Oregon shooting, he would not have stood still and let the killer shoot him. He said that he would have yelled at everyone to charge the shooter. Yes, some may have been shot, but the carnage would have been a lot less. It is called the rule of 21.
The rule of 21 simply states that if you have three or more unarmed people, within 21 feet or less, charging at you, and you have a gun, at least one of them will get to you. Reality is that you can’t shoot fast and accurately enough to get all three before they can get to you.
Dr. Carson appears to be a man with common sense.
No wonder he has so much opposition.
