An Undisputable Truth

The sooner an on- or off-duty officer or citizen intervenes with an effective, efficient act of courage, the fewer casualties there will be. [More]
What kind of absurd contortions would one have to go through to disagree?

As an aside, Jeff Knox, in what he called "a Korwinesque quibble," taught me to stop using the term "active shooter" to describe rampaging murderers.

I've often wondered if "active shooter" was deliberately selected by the gun grabbers to smear the line between self defense and criminal aggression, and emotionally tar all of us as evil. After all, when I'm at the range, or hunting, or if I were to be forced into a self defense shooting, I'd be an "active shooter" as well.

Besides, what would be a "passive" shooter?

Think about it, grammatically.

That's pretty sick stuff to come out of an LE agency. WAY beyond their scope of practice and pay grade.
