In an interesting development, my long-time climbing partner just called me. He's a HS teacher in Eastern Oregon, and they had a teachers meeting yesterday where the teachers were "strongly encouraged" ( administration words) to carry concealed weapons on campus.
Cool

Yeah, and checking into it, there was a case where a student was arrested on campus at Western Oregon University for carrying a concealed weapon and won a counter suit against the State because it's perfectly legal here.
Each school does however, have discretion as to whether to permit concealed handguns inside buildings, dormitories, event centers, and classrooms. Private colleges and universities may still prohibit weapons throughout the entire campus including grounds.
My wife, who was a university administrator for 40 years, told him to ask if this meant that any actions he took under this policy would be indemnified by the school's blanket liability coverage. Campus security, for instance, has special coverage.
It'll be interesting to see what the answer is.

Monolith, yeah, that's a bummer.
It's a small thing, but if the parents and daughters are from out of state, I wish the headline didn't refer to him as "Oregon militant."

The entire self defense 2A conundrum all wrapped up in a little Eastern Oregon package.
EDIT: Might also be worth asking if the administration would be willing to put one of the armed security guards in his room at all times if he chose not to carry.

The Burns occupation draws screwballs like flies to crap. The Sharp Family Singers showed up at the refuge. They previously appeared at the Bundy ranch where their van broke down. Their singing sucks. Ironicaly they sung "Our Land", Woodie Guthrie would have been amused.

Ammon Bundy's big "Tear up your grazing contract" event at Malheur yesterday was another "black-eye" for the Cow-Quida occcupiers. No Oregon ranchers tore up their contracts and only one rancher did, a man from New Mexico who has been with the Cow-Quida since the start.

Bundy tried to put some positive spin on the fiasco:
Bundy, who had previously met with local ranchers urging them to tear up their federal contracts, also said he wasn't disappointed that Sewell was the only one to take him up on his idea.
"I'm very happy he came all the way from New Mexico," Bundy said.

That guy probably tore up a Xerox copy.

Those leases last ten years, and the current price is 1.25 or so per AMU.
The State of Oregon's rate is over 5 bucks. Private grazing can cost 20 bucks.
Grazing licenses are welfare programs. Funny that Bundy believes that he owns his.
I doubt that he has a patent to that land in the County Courthouse.

Obama isn't going to boot these bozos anytime soon and is handling them with soft gloves..A shoot out would be political suicide with a presidential election right around the corner...

I'm thinking they may not be removed until the day after the election. If so, it will be interesting to see the conflicts between birders and cowboys this summer.

The whole thing just becomes more bizarre... That odd singing family certainly added some Twighlight Zone flavor to the surreal scene.
I keep expecting Rod Serling to walk out and set the stage.
