A dad with a carry permit stopped the Bend, Oregon school shooting minutes after it started, and the story left the national news almost as fast. What does that say about gun-free zones, and what would it cost to protect every school?
You'll learn how the attack unfolded minute by minute, how a teacher and an armed parent ended it, and why two armed officers at every K-12 school would cost each taxpayer about $254 a year.
Michael Schwartz walks through the Silver Rail Elementary attack, which killed three children and a teacher, with Brian Hill of The Complete Combatant, a combatives and armed-citizen trainer with more than 35 years of experience. Brian teaches Pistol Tactician in Alpine, California on November 14 and 15, 2026. Register: https://www.shootingclasses.com/thecompletecombatant/course/?courseId=6248

Also this week: Malcolm Gladwell told Oprah the Second Amendment was written to protect slave patrols, and Michael checks that against the historical record. A Maine congressional candidate answers a red flag question with a red herring. Brian Aitken of Topple, the ad network built for the gun industry (https://wearetopple.com/), on the New Jersey arrest and 7-year sentence that came from moving his own guns the way the state police told him to. And Stump My Nephew: one bolt-action rifle for everything, which caliber?
