[Magdalen] teasing the SIL

[Lynn Ronkainen]

maybe Scott, but this place (TX) is already an armory....

Monday was the 50th anniversary of the Tower Shooting at U of TX. All over 
radio news with interviews from those who where there (all in their 70s+ 
now).  Comments about how students went out to their parked trucks (on 
campus, their own vehicles) and retrieved rifles and were the first to fire 
on the gunman from a classroom window.  Police only had handguns and of 
course, no SWAT in those days.  Hard to remember the '60s as a time when 
people had 'Easy Rider'* rifle/shotgun racks in their pickups, de rigeur, 
and no one even tried to steal them... or use them normally for anything but 
hunting (for the most part).  Also hard to believe that the police now have 
military surplus tanks and other unique vehicles to deal with standoffs all 
over our country : (
