<DIV>
<DIV>Thanks Janesta. <BR><BR>I don't own a gun nor do I plan to either. But I've been taking gun safety and shooting lessons with my son for a few months now. My son overnighted as at a friend's house and ended up shooting guns with my approval. So I thought it would be good if he knew what he was doing and a friend offered to help. </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Actually I enjoy the sport of shooting now and not just because it gives something for my son and I to do together. I doubt I'll ever get a gun since statistics clearly indicate that you are far more likely to be harmed by a gun than to be helped.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>But I agree with Janesta that if folks are going to have guns better that they know how to use them. Nothing wrong with gun safety lessons.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>On the other hand, I agree with Tom and others that carrying guns for safety reasons and the general paranoia associated with events like this are a bit disturbing. Moscow is one of the safest communities in the country.</DIV>

<DIV>It appears to me, more people are buying handguns for protection. Gun owners need to be educated on how to keep a gun safe in the home, and the use of a gun under emotional pressure, among other important issues. When having conversations with police officers in the past. Every one of them told me, if my life were at <I><B>immediate risk</B></I>, I should shoot to kill. A shot in the arm or leg, will not stop a meth head (or the like) from continuing their quest to kill you. A wounded animal is a crazed animal.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Fish and Game offer gun safety classes, as do The Pink Pistols...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Guns are not going away in the near future, I'd rather gun owners were educated, than not.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No, I don't own a gun, nor do I plan on purchasing one.</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN>Or is it that Doug Wilson and Christ Church have found themselves so deep in the fiscal red zone that a money-making bonanza such as a series of self-run, multiple-level, u</SPAN><SPAN>ncertified self-defense gun clinics was the easiest way out ("</SPAN><SPAN>Participants had to register in advance for the Level 1 Basic Handgun Clinic, which cost $50 per person.").</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><BR></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN>I'm guessin' that the first couple hours of the Level 1 "clinic" will consist of the boyz gatherin' 'round the beer cooler comparin' guns, seeking the answer to that age-old question, "Who has the biggest one?", much like the Trinity Fest and its self-indulgent truck rally that can only be best summed up in song . . .</SPAN></DIV>
