This could benefit private schools, whom some people argued should not get SROs because they are not publicly funded (not sure why that would matter). The same people would also argue that the private school can't arm itself.

I saw our first one today. It was too fast to even see what color it was.

It is peculiar how the left is not shrieking about “another mass shooting.”

The best carry ammo is probably whatever known brand hollow point functions 100% in your carry gun and is fairly accurate that you can find and afford. You can obsess over ballistics and gel tests, but the fact is that most handguns suck for stopping bad guys. Their great virtue is that they are very portable and you can have it with you almost everywhere you go.
Having said all that, I carry Hornady Critical Defense 115 or Federal HST 124. They are fairly common and I don't want to have to find and test a new round because my ammo is exotic, hard to find, or always out of stock.

300 shots fired and 8 hits!? That's not good, even for untrained thugs.
However, it's better than the results than in the officer acorn shooting and those 2 are trained LEOs. LOL
When you hold the gun sideways and shove the gun forward with each shot, all while grabbing your crotch, well, accuracy can be a bit less than perfect. They just need to get a red dot.

What was it that the guy in Game of Thrones said to Viserys? "A Dothraki wedding without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair."

I understand the shortcomings of the serpa, But I think the situation of the OP is an exception to its use. If doing tractor work etc, that’s what I use. It is not a training holster nor for SD routine. OK , blast/ roast away.
I want to say Blackhawk modified the Serpa design years ago and the release no longer lines up your finger over the trigger. Hopefully they did. Years ago I saw a guy ND with a Serpa and he put a hole in his pants near his hip and a second much longer hole/rip near his shin. The bullet went into the ground an inch from his foot. He bought some new pants on the way home to hide his adventures from his wife.

I stopped at Avery's in Memphis Tuesday. A pretty good display of powders, $80 to 110 per bottle. Price on a jug was $199. A few primers @ $9 per pack. 100 box of bullets were about the price of 50 rds of the same caliber of pistol.
Check Sportsmans Warehouse in Southaven occasionally. I recently bought primers there for $65/thousand.

I had the 2nd ugliest car in my whole HS. It was a light green 1971 Dodge Coronet that had been wrecked by the PO. It had a white passenger front door, a dark green right fender, and some genius had tried to peel off the white vinyl top, but got lazy and never finished. It only had 1st and 2nd gear (3rd and reverse were both out). I paid $175 for that car and drove the wheels off of it. My friends called it the booger-mobile and I loved that car. It was surprisingly fast with that 318 V8 in it.
Damn, what did the #1 ugliest in HS look like?

Just because a teacher is opposed to the bill doesn’t make them anti-2A. It just means they don’t feel that arming teachers is the solution.
It’s not “arming teachers.” It’s ALLOWING teachers to arm themselves if they choose. If they don’t like it, then don’t participate, but why not let others who are willing?
I don’t think anybody believes it is THE solution, but a fire may not do as much damage if someone with a hose is there when it starts.

Methinks you are probably getting to the heart of the matter, but some won’t acknowledge that.

Even if this bill passes the House, and Senate IMO the Govenor will NOT sign it. Deerslayer, the reason other teachers don't want guns in the school is simply FEAR of guns. IF an SRO can be trained to carry a gun to protect children in schools, a teacher can be trained just as well. Now that is a "common sense" gun law. This will be all over soon.
Have you seen cops shoot? If a teacher is genuinely interested in shooting, they can become far more proficient than most SROs.

I’m not saying that. I’m just saying that the teachers I know don’t want to carry in the classroom.
Are they opposed to the bill? I fully support their right to not carry if that is what they wish, but many opposed to the bill are making the same irrelevant "It's shouldn't be the responsibility of the teachers" argument. The bill doesn't mandate any responsibility, but ALLOWS a teacher who wants to carry to do so. Why do teachers who don't want to carry have such a problem with that?

Nope. It was posted by the official Navy social media accounts yesterday, was picked up and then they deleted the posts. They have even acknowledged the deleted image in the current reposts without that image. It’s 100% real.
That was the skipper of the USS John S. McCain in the photo. The official USMC social media has trolled the Navy about it too.
Somebody was clowning the skipper?

I can tell you that none of the teachers I know want to carry in the school, much less the classroom. While they all would sacrifice themselves for their children, carrying in the classroom is not and should not be their responsibility. And if they do carry, will the school district cover their legal fees if they did have to use their weapon?
Because they don’t want to nobody else should be allowed?

thought I'd kick this out.
I read the funny stuff every day. A few members had commented on a Muscle car pic posted.
I was 7 years old when Hot Wheels came out, I had some of the originals until my second divorce. I grew up with muscle cars, hot rods and choppers. (and long hair, bell bottoms, and all the other stuff) I am a machine nut. I love mechanical stuff for whatever reason. I have seen all of these cars new, ridden in a lot, and even drove a few. I remember all of the styles we have gone through. Read Hot Rod and Car Craft religously in my younger days. Looking back at some of the stuff makes me cringe but it was whatever was in style at the time. One post I read today was about keeping these old rides original specifically tire/wheel combos. And if that is what you like great! I was a hot rodder, nothing stayed factory original if I owned it and 99% of the old cars were modified. On the specific of tire/wheel combos, remember, a LOT of the muscle cars were ordered with the cheapest OE stuff because they were getting aftermarket "mags" on the day after delivery. There's a segment now that is rebuilding these as "day two" street cars with air shocks and tires sticking out 4 inces from the quarter panels. I remember this and don't like it. We have the skills and tech to keep the ride height down and narrow the rear so that it all fits. And this actually WORKS better so if you are going to modify, why not do it the way it SHOULD have been originally? That's just my opinion of course. Anyway, I could never buy an original survivor or restored muscle car because I'd modify it and drive the hell out of it. That's what they were built for. Same reasoning for my not buying unfired collectable firearms that I would love to own, I'd shoot it. So after all the rambling, what is your favorite muscle car and why? Would you restore original or modify it?Yes, the 1970 Coronet R/T is the top of my list without question or Challenger. 70 Challenger is in the top 5 as is 70 Cyclone. And all MUST have a big block.
Mine would be something like this. I like Toyotas, but I’ve always been a Ford guy, too. I also like this guy’s attitude and would probably do pretty much the same thing if I had the cheddar.

I love the 60's & early 70 Muscle. I wish the owners would put the correct original rims & tires on them. A set of Crager mags are good for original replacement. JMHO.
Yeah I hate seeing a beautifully restored 70 Chevelle with 22” GWs.

I’m not against anything but Benelli right now. Lol
How does the Franchi pattern? I know Benelli are known for high right.
Left-right it’s dead on. It throws a pretty dense pattern slightly high (maybe 60-40), but I used a Rob Roberts T3 choke. It turned a 20 ga. Affinity into a death stick. I’ll try to dig up a pic of the pattern board. I had to play with the included shims to bring my POI down to 60/40.
-
I went duck hunting for the first time last year and bought a Franchi Affinity 3. I've been happy with it. I've seen the blue and wood version for $850-900 several times. Franchi is under the Beretta umbrella along with Benelli and Stoeger, so that may be a dealbreaker for you.

Gotcha, I didn’t know that. Further proof that all the bedwetting about blood in the streets is nonsense.
