Preventing School Shootings: Observe…Investigate…Intercede

The U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center recently released a report on targeted school violence that didn’t seem to get much attention from the media.

Lost in headlines about several mass murders around the country is the fact that law-abiding gun owners use firearms to protect themselves or loved ones every single day, with little to no attention from the establishment media. For example, here in Ohio, on March 1, WEWS (ABC Cleveland) reported that a homeowner who had already scared off a would-be thief who had attempted to steal his ATV was...
