Dana’s a Dallas Doctor. Her “just the essentials” everydaycarry.com pocket dump includes a Walther PPS with a Crimson Trace laser and a handy dandy pepper spray dispenser. I’d be interested to know if Dana carries her Walther right past the gun free zone signs. (Yes, even in Texas.) I suspect . . .
she may ankle carry. I know a number of Docs who carry in an ankle holster — in case they need to get a leg up on someone posing an imminent, credible threat of grievous bodily harm or death.
While I appreciate the cardiologist’s sense of humor — she labels her comms “the grim beepers” — I thought cell phones eliminated all that old school misegos. Even stethoscopes have gone digital.
Still, gunpowder’s plenty old school and it’s still the best answer for personal self-defense in extremis. That’s Latin. Doctors know Latin. And this one knows guns, bless her heart.
Si vis pacem, para bellum.
“…until we can honestly say that we’re doing enough to keep them safe from harm…”
I can’t help noticing that there was no one on hand to defend the children when that murderous nutbag showed up on school property. In fact, federal law prohibits the presence of effective tools of self-defense in schools.
Until he’s willing to consider letting schools make their own decisions on how to keep their charges safe from harm, I respectfully submit that President Obama should keep his gaping piehole shut.

Assuming you do not have a petition with 75% of registered voters calling for the repeal of the 2nd amendment with a teansie weanie temporary halting of the 4th……
Who are going to arm in order to forcibly disarm roughly 20 million firearm owners of over 300 million firearms?
and….
How are you going to disarm the disarmers when they have accomplished that mission?
Oh, and “because: emotions” is not an answer much less an argument.
Can buy a lot of stuff on a credit card these days. Don’t even need cash, just minimum payments every month.
Lies, disinformation and blame shifting.
Perhaps we may have less crazies shooting lots of people en mass, but we would have dangerous people committing acts of violence on a smaller scale at a much higher rate.
