Monon, IN

The North White School Corporation has voted unanimously to allow Administrators and school board members to carry concealed firearms in their schools starting July 1st 2014.

“We heard from both sides on the argument,” said Shannon Mattix, board president of the Monon-based district in White County. “Basically, as a board, we stuck with facts and statistics over emotion. It’s an emotional issue.”

Mattix went on to say they considered hiring an armed resource officer but ultimately decided against it for several reasons, including costs.

In addition to being required to carry concealed and with a level 2 or 3 retention holster, those wishing to carrying concealed will also need to take 40 hours of training and undergo a annual psychological evaluation.  They will also only be allowed to carry “a semiautomatic handgun”.  It’s unclear as to reason for discriminating against revolvers.

“First of all, we hope nothing ever happens like that,” president Mattix said, referring to an murderer. “It’s just an additional layer (of protection) in addition to things we’re already doing at the school corporation.”

Here at 13C we applaud the decision to arm these school personnel, even if we disagree with the required psych evals… if these people need an evaluation, they shouldn’t be in these positions to begin with.

The Right to self defense has been well understood for millennium.  The Bible clearly articulates the justified killings of evil men and nations in self defense.

Bishop Robert Wright of the Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta apparently places his political views ahead of Biblical teachings.  The ‘bishop’ has banned firearms on all church property in middle and north Georgia.

Speaking of his ban on firearms Wright says: “My judgment and this policy are based on the normative understanding of the teachings of Jesus as the Episcopal Church has received them”.

Let us first start at the obvious problem with ‘Bishop’ Wright’s position: He exempts on duty law enforcement.  If he truly believes what he is preaching, how could a piece of metal (a badge) give one person the religious authority to kill someone?  Either a person has a Right to self defense or they don’t.  It’s preposterous to think a secular entity could grant an exemption to God’s Word, if that is truly what Wright believes.

Next let us briefly look to the “teachings of Jesus” that Wright apparently refuses to even acknowledge.

At the last supper Christ gives His final instructions to us.  He talks about the disciples needing to start doing things for themselves after He is betrayed.  In  Luke 22:36 –  He said to them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.”

That’s right, Jesus not only tells the disciples to carry a sword but it is so important he tells them to sell their cloak and buy one if they don’t have one.

Episcopal Church ban on firearms notification.

A few people might counter with what happens later in the garden when Jesus says “those who live by the sword die by the sword”.  Only a fool would think the Son of God would contradict himself less than 12 hours after He issued a commandment.  I believe Christ is speaking not just to Peter but also to the Romans who were about to start killing them.  Basically He was saying ‘There is a time and a place, my time is now and I must be taken in to fulfill prophesy and you must continue to spear the Word’.

The old testament has similar instructions, take Nehemiah 4  for example “Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked” and “each had his weapon, even when he went for water.”

I’m not sure what Bible the ‘bishop’ is reading but mine is pretty clear.  God the Father and Jesus wants us to be able to defend ourselves against evil, both spiritual AND physical.

If you are a Christian that happens to be a member of any Episcopal (or other denomination) church or diocese that ignores the teachings of Jesus Christ, I’d suggest you find another church.

I don’t think most people realize how close the BLM situation in Nevada came from becoming the second shot heard round the world.

Some folks were asking what ‘main stream’ media was covering this, KHQ NBC in Nevada had this FoxNews.com had this.

The articles fail to mention that there were hundreds upon hundreds of armed Americans who showed up yesterday as well.

“And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance?”  – Jefferson

I am thankful yesterday ended peacefully.  I have no doubt that the hundreds of brave American men and women who put their lives on the line by armed (peaceful) presence yesterday are directly responsible for such a benevolent outcome.

First Amendment Area. Seriously.

Yesterday we saw an out of control agency act with respect and reason, where in days prior unarmed protestors had been corralled into “First Amendment areas”, tasered and women thrown to the ground like rag dolls.  What changed?

Hundreds of Americans, exercising their Right to self defense, showed up in addition to the hundreds of unarmed protestors.  Funny how that works… when only one side has the guns, they tend to run rough shod over the other.

I don’t think the situation with the Bundy ranch is over but what is over, for now, is an out of control agency completely ignoring the Constitution.

You can read a great article about it over on The Bang Switch but in a tiny nut shell, the BLM told the protestors to disarm and the protestors said “You first.”  The BLM then left.  Wow.

The cows come home.

Watch this 4 minute clip of a rancher explaining what is going with the BLM:

You can find out more about the BLM here, it’s very well done and worth your time:

Ever notice how all these things seem to happen in April?
