The VT incident hit me hard when it happened and it's still on my mind every day. (see my avatar to the left...)
I ended up missing about a week of class since I made the trek down there the day after.
My father ended up getting very ill (unrelated to the shooting) and was hospitalized in the very same place they had a bunch of the victims. I spent a good week seeing what gun free zones enabled Cho to do. I remember sitting in front of the TV watching the news coverage as it unfolded. I remember not being able to contact my brother who was an engineering student who lived in Harper and had classes around where 30 people lost their lives. My brother and father are still with us today, which I am very thankful for.

Send me a message on Facebook if you decide to show up...I'll join you.It sounds like they are going to hold meetings to discuss how to prevent school shootings. Do you think it would be in bad taste to attend these meetings while OC'ing (assuming the meeting is not actually held at the high school)?
