Protective Orders...?
Protective Orders? Those are for people who have experienced no self control anyway.
On the way home from school, my granddaughter and I talked about the incident; they had put her school on "lockdown" as they did the other schools in the area until they found out the situation was "clear".
We talked about 1st Degree (Pre-Meditated) Murder as well as regular homicide; about how it is almost impossible to guard against a surprise attack; about why I carry a gun; about why some people "fly off the handle"; etc.
The class was wondering why the Police had come and taken their classmate out of class (I mentioned earlier that one of their children was in my Granddaugher's 6th Grade Class) until they were all called down to the cafeteria, where they found out what had happened. They all felt saddness as now their classmate was now without a mother and the father would not be home for a LONG time.
My wife attends daily Mass at Our Lady of Angels, where my Granddaughter's school is located, and after Mass she was passing by the incident on her way to work. Knowing that I was at Physical Therapy and would be heading for breakfast afterwards, she called to tell me to stay away from Chick-fil-A.
Ironically, I was up the road at McDonalds talking to someone who had moved into Virginia from out of State and had asked me about being able to carry open, how he could get a concealed permit, why I carried, etc, etc. (He had noticed the handgun on my hip.) This MUST have been exactly the same time the Chick-fil-A incident was happening.
