We all know about
everyday gun related tragedies. There are no survival
guarantees when it comes to being shot at. Like wearing a seat belt in
a car wreck, its a major survival advantage versus not having anything
at all for “cover -protection”. While we
can not control the environment we live
in, We can actively protect ourselves and our loved ones.
Although it make take getting used to, being proactive vs. passive
against unexpected gun violence is up to you. A little bit of
protection can go a long way, it might even save your life. Need we say
more . . .
We thank you for your
consideration,

Crime and Safety Statistics from a U.S. Government Report entitled "Indicators
of School Crime and Safety 2000 - FACTS -
In a
single School Year?
10% of public schools report
a felony violent crime
on school property to the police.
47% of public schools report
misdemeanor crimes to the police.
23% of all ninth-grade students,
when asked, reported "carrying
a weapon to school in the last 30 days".
10% of all high
school students report carrying a weapon to school in the last 30 days.
Nationwide, 16,580 Students were disciplined or expelled for use/possession of firearms on school grounds. 10% of weapons seized on
school property are at elementary schools. 33 Gunshot deaths in 1 day at Virginia Tech (2007). - According to the CDC there are more than 30,000 gun related homicides (deaths) per year in the USA - Source: The US House Committee on Education and Labor The US House Committee on Education
and Labor held a full committee hearing on "Best Practices to Make
College Campuses Safe." The hearing was conviened by Chairman George
Miller, who said, "In the wake of the horrific and senseless violence
at Virginia Tech, we must do everything we can to ensure that our
nation's college campuses are safe learning environments for students,
faculty, and staff members. Today's hearing provided us with a critical
opportunity to learn about how the Congress can help colleges and
universities to prevent and recover from tragedies and emergencies.
Nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of our
children, our students, and our loved ones."
It was tragic to have 33 deaths in
one day at Virginia Tech, but according to the CDC, every
year more than 30,000 persons die by firearms
through suicide or homicide. This is the equivalent of the Virginia
Tech death toll occurring 2 to 3 times every day.
This is not to minimize the tragedy of school
shootings; we want the number to be zero. But
if we are going to prevent these events, we
have to start with placing them in a broader context."
