Two schools where a citizen with a gun stopped the problem

so, when your snooty liberal friends say guns beget violence, and they've never heard of where having a gun helped anything, throw this in their smug faces...


-January 9, 2002, Appalachian School of Law in Grundy, Va. - 43 year old Peter
Odighizuwa, who had flunked out of the small law school earlier in the week
killed three people and wounded three others. Two law students - Tracy Bridges
and Ted Besen - retreived a handgun from Bridges' vehicle and held Odighizuwa at
gun point for several minutes before police arrived. (Bridges was a reserve
deputy sheriff, but was not on duty at the time of the incident.)ยท

-October 1, 1997, Pearl High School, Pearl, Ms. - 16 year old Luke Woodham carried a rifle onto the school campus, killed his ex-girlfriend and one of her friends and
wounded seven other people. Assisstant Principal Joel Myrick retreived a handgun
from his truck and held Woodham for police. It was later learned that the
teeneager had beaten and stabbed his own mother to death before the attack at
the school.
