Margaret Stroup, the Soldotna hospital administrator who survived the 2008 shooting rampage by an angry ex-employee at Central Peninsula General Hospital, is on the cover of this week's Christian Science Monitor magazine wearing a holstered handgun. The story: "Why We Bear Arms," a post-Newtown look at the place of guns in American life. Stroup tells the Monitor in a sidebar that becoming a gun owner is helping her cope with the fear of random violence she still feels in the wake of her shooting.
John 12:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."

I'll try this again. Good for her! I am only sorry it took a trauma for her to realize that crime can happen anywhere, and that when the BG is after you, you have only yourself to rely on.
Best wishes,

PolyKahr, you're right: the citizens who will accept personal responsibility have never been the problem. But you knew that already.
