Adam Lanza was wearing a bulletproof vest. How could armed teachers have stopped him?

73. Yes, many times. And not really, not to hit anyone anyway.

My dad was an army sharpshooter and a police officer for thirty years so, yes, I know how to shoot. I'm pretty good at it, not as good as he but good enough to hit what I'm aiming at.

Now, to answer your second question, no. I've never been in a shoot out with anyone but I have been in plenty of street fights and dangerous situations and I'm not a panicky guy. It's not bragging or internet tough guying or anything but I'm just able to maintain my cool in hairy situations. That doesn't mean I'd be able to dead eye people like Wild Bill Hickok but I don't think I'd just loose my head and shoot at random if something did happen. If I'm alone, the first thing I'm looking to do is escape. That is always the best option.

It's all hypothetical anyway. It's not like I walk around carrying a gun. I don't even have one in my house. When I had kids I gave my gun to my dad to hold and he still has it. I only use it when we target practice, maybe twice a year.

I have a dog for home protection. She's a big sissy though so its not much protection but at least she'll bark.
