    You're right, I misread your post ... that's what comes of reading something only once and too fast (I was on a lunch break) Sorry:sorry: For the record, what I'm trying to assert is that there is no...

    Yes, I know what gerrymandering means and that's precisely what you are doing when you ignore what is known about Zimmerman's character and behavior before and since the shooting. Just like what...

    Unless you include frightened police officers, you have a point. The hordes of accidental shooters are probably hanging out with the hordes of gunmen planning to invade healthcare

    heron replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    Let's not gerrymander history, OK? I'm not going to relitigate the Martin case. My point is that Zimmerman has a history of violent and unstable behavior that, nonetheless, does not preclude him from...

    Yup - not guilty of murder. Which is my point, in a way. He's a self-appointed vigilante with questionable judgement, a known history of violence, no criminal convictions and the legal right to own...

    heron replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    Are we in nursery school? What's next - calling them dooky-heads? The problem with the whole gun debate is this neener-neener approach to the discussion. Both sides of the discussion have valid...

    You're demanding that I explain things I never said or implied ... also known as a straw man tactic, which doesn't work on me either. You're trying to distract us from the obvious fact that you're...

    All this is very nice, but what does it have to do with the question of concealed carry by caregivers in a healthcare

    heron replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    Who's talking about policemen? I'm talking about concealed carry by health caregivers. Look - I'm not stupid and I've been thinking about this a long time. I have no doubt that there are many...

    No, but I would probably be better off if my facility spent some time on "active shooter" drills similar to those used by the Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood. To my mind, my risk increases in...

    Should Healthcare Professionals Ask About Guns in the Home?

    heron replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Should Healthcare Professionals Ask About Guns in the Home?

    heron replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Would someone please explain to me how asking about the security of firearms kept in the home equals saying you have no right to own them? Conflating the two makes no sense at

    When does a nurse recognize it's time to be put out to pasture.

    heron replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing
