I think she planned to die all along, either by the hands of the police or her own hand. I attribute the relatively low loss of life (one life is too many in my opinion) to both the efficiency of the MPD and the training and quick actions of the staff to secure the children and remove them as targets. She tried unsuccessfully to shoot her way into two different 3rd grade classrooms, expending I believe well over 100 rounds, in the effort. Only one death occurred after the stairwell shooting and that was Dr. Koonce. Hale was unable to find or target any students once they were locked down. Thankfully, in all her planning and research, she didn’t realize the training that the staff had taken, nor did she know of the other measures the school implemented to secure the students and rooms. The training of the teachers (especially the two third grade teachers) allowed them to very very quickly assess what was happening, and move their students back into the rooms, secure the doors, and prevent additional loss of life. I praise the MPD officers who remained “visible “ outside the school, basically as targets to keep her occupied, which allowed the officers who entered the building to confront her.

Very nice setup

Today was a happy day!

SWEET

Put the slide in a vise, put something on top of the sight so you’re not hammering the sight directly, and give it a couple of solid whacks with a hammer. That’s what they taught me to do at the armorers course.

You ain't kidding about how ugly their guns are. They actually make Glocks look pretty. Yet I still find myself wanting several of their guns. You're right, this one does look fun.

@Jeb48 Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery!

The 27 & 28's really such a pleasure but I don't shoot it much anymore & had my eye on something new. Surprised there were no takers - guess I'll take it out for a spin again. Sounds like you've got an awesome old pistol, too.

Former Tennessee Sen Roy Herron killed in jet ski crash: ‘Will be missed by us all’! https://www.foxnews.com/politics/former-tennessee-senator-roy-herron-killed-jet-ski-crash-will-missed-us-all

Sir, I'll take it. PM inbound

I don't know if her(shooters) writings would provoke some one to go shoot up a school but one thing that has been released is the time frame from 911 call to dead shooter was being talked about in police departments across the country and that would start any possible shooter thinking that is not a lot of time to accomplish their goal. The police said this person spent 2 years planning this and doing all the research on TCS and Metro Police ended all her planning in 14 minutes.

In the past I suspect many of us would probably agree in not releasing the information. The problem today is that no one trusts anything they are told and for good reason. Most intelligent people want to make up their own mind on the 'value' and interpretation of information, but that is more and more being taken away from us giving the perception that something is being hidden. Right or wrong, perception is reality now and the only way to combat it is for complete transparency as hard as that may be for those involved. On the other side, some people are just nosy and need to take a step back and really ask themselves, 'how does this affect me in any real, appreciable way?' If the answer is it doesn't, then move along.

The girl may have been insane, but that doesn't mean she wasn't smart in her demented way. It's obvious she was smart enough to have done research, chosen weapons, and implemented her massacre. Insanity doesn't mean a babbling idiot. I think her writings should be released. Copycats won't stop, but her writings would certainly give regular people as well as LE and those of us who carry the thinking of a dedicated shooter with criminal intent regardless of sanity or insanity. That's educational, insightful, and valuable information that shouldn't be prohibited to read. This is not top secret Manhatten Project type of material divulging military secrets. What's next? - the government deciding that the writings of Jeff Cooper, Massad Ayoob, and Thomas Jefferson are too dangerous to be read? Sooner or later it will come out from a leaked source. Will that be after another mass shooting event that might have been prevented by reading the entire document?

Odd, I suddenly have a hankering for buttermilk.

I've been following this thread with great interest. Thanks for all the insight and information as to this issue. I do not think this is very complicated nor do I believe there are any " gems of truth " nor ' insightful revelations " contained in this demented child's writings. The reason : This child was insane, pure n simple. Sane folks simply cannot fathom the the thinking of the insane. What made sense to her simply will not make sense to you n me; even if the " reasons " were articulated. That said; I am of the opinion that this child was very bright and thorough in her target studies. The TBI/Police assertion that this study is somehow so powerful and detailed as to need to be hidden from the public is laughable on its face. The TBI/Police delay and obfuscation campaign is nothing more that an attempt to keep the " Trans Agenda " out of the news and to allow things to calm and fade from the public's mind. I get that the continuing re hash and commotion about this shooting is hurtful to those affected at the school, but it ain't goin to go away. This is an issue that the public is interested in. In the end, it will matter not go away until these writings are published. No_One is right: You will find no rational explanations in these writings for this tragedy. That said, let's see what they say... Stop the legal maneuvering and bring these writings into full public view. leroy...

I am a lifetime member but they will not see another dime from me until some major changes are made from the top down. There are too many other great organizations that need support.

The sheath on the right was requested by a gentleman a while back for an Esee 5. He wanted the scales dyed as well. While he was waiting he sent word that he had given his grandson the same knife and wanted one built for him too. Then he saw a picture of a holster I had made for a friend of mine with initials on it, so he asked if I could put his grandson’s initials on it. I said sure, I’ll do that. A little later he asked if I could do an arrow with fletching and a flint-knapped broadhead. I said well I’m not sure but I’m a-gonna try it. (Plum skeered at that point) So the sheath on the left is the one built for his grandson. The picture below is the grandson’s sheath in the raw with a little bit of design on the belt loop. I’m not the artistic type so it took me a while to do all that. There’s still some things I don’t like about it and I’d very much love to be able to improve on not only adding designs, but everything I’m doing. I hope he likes them.

It’s correct Hale chose the school due to a perceived lack of security and the isolated nature of being on the hill. She had considered two other schools as well as a public location but determined she would have more success at TCS. This is written in her notes which I will address in a sec. While there was not an SRO at the school, measures were already being put in place to have trained and armed staff on site along with the active shooter training they had recently completed. There was not a “Manifesto” as one might think. That was a poor choice of words for the police chief to use. There were 17 notebooks filled with research of every school shooting, logistics of the TCS building, camera locations, employee info, etc. Hale had been monitoring the building for two yrs and compiling info. She was hyper focused on this aspect thus the large amount of data on covenant and on how to successfully conduct a school shooting with maximum deaths. According to police, this was the most planned school attack in US history and they're still processing info. It’s an active investigation that they expect will take another year to complete. It’s true the police don’t want this research and info out there since it will most definitely aid future shootings. As far as the school, church & parents not wanting the “manifesto” released, there are unwell people out there wishing harm towards the school as evidenced by continued letters and calls to the school. It’s unfathomable but the rumors people have created, pushed, and subsequent anger has made an unsafe environment for everyone there. My wife has fielded calls and received letters several times. People have traveled to Nashville to stalk the school. Releasing the notebooks would be equivalent to police releasing schematics and security details of your personal home knowing someone activity wants to hurt your family. Protection of staff and children who are still experiencing trauma from seeing their classmates killed is paramount.
