Cornerbacks, D-linemen, OTs, and tight ends all on campus. The Hokies are building something real in the ACC.

Rumor that Virginia Tech will be receiving another donation for football this week

James Franklin will have secured 95 million dollars in donations in a week for the Hokies program

I can’t think of anyone besides Cristobal or Cignetti that can rally support like this.

Can I tell you guys a story?

I am a survivor of the Virginia Tech shooting. Most horrific day of my life. I was right outside the building when he started shooting. I was told to run across an open field to safety by panicked campus police. I remember running in a zig zag pattern because I believed the shooter was outside. I barricaded behind a campus police vehicle for hours in the snow, watching the SWAT team arrive then the students jumping from windows holding white sheets of paper above their heads to indicate they were not a threat.

Later that night, my friend from high school was among those who called to make sure I was safe. I know I talked to a bunch of people that night but his call is the only one I remember. He said to me, “Sarah, this is why you need to carry. Everyone needs to carry.”

I hung up on him.

I was so angry. I HATED that he said that to me. I blamed the gun.

I blamed the gun for years. Was this what tipped me over the edge to identify as a Democrat for the time that I did?? Maybe. I can’t say for sure. I was trending that way a bit before this because I was young and wanted everyone to “have equal rights.”

But I held on to what he said and believed that was the problem. We needed more gun control not more guns.

I believed this for a long time, but the more and more I thought about it, the more and more I struggled with details about it.

If we have more gun control then what does that mean about cops? We can’t have cops armed and citizens not armed. We also can’t have cops not armed, because there are plenty of citizens illegally armed (and we all know that won’t go away…criminals are gonna criminal).

Then I thought about the details of that day. I didn’t know it at the time of course, but the Virginia Tech shooter targeted classrooms. He was not outside. He was able to get to so many classrooms and do the level of damage he did because he chained the doors shut. Everyone in that building was unarmed. Sitting ducks for evil to prey on. The police were not able to get there fast enough to neutralize the threat because he knew to lock them out.

32 people lost their lives that day. Countless others were injured, had to have bullets removed, and even some have to live with the bullets still in them to this day.

How much of this would not have happened if one of those teachers carried?? We can’t ever know, obviously, but it surely seems like the evil killing spree would have been cut much shorter.

The shooting happened April 16, 2007. One month before my graduation.

It has been a long and interesting road to where I am now. Many people in my life probably don’t recognize the person I am today. In this time I have come to realize that I blamed the gun because I was afraid. I was afraid of the gun.

The first time I went to a shooting range I was shaking so bad I couldn’t even write my simple five letter name on the forms and I almost threw up in the waiting area.

Now I am a second amendment advocate.

I do not advocate for violence. It is never the answer. But evil exists and it is up to us to protect ourselves. In fact, one of the first things you learn in a gun safety class is that you never want to pull out the gun unless you absolutely have to. Your wallet, watch, jewelry, phone, car, whatever are not worth taking someone’s life. I want to make that clear.

I also want to make it clear that if you are not comfortable around guns or in using one, then make that a top priority now. Start small. Get comfortable. Get trained. This is especially directed at women! If you aren’t comfortable with a gun please consider other options for personal safety. I am a runner. I have MACE and even a taser that I carry whenever I’m running alone. I’ve heard too many stories.

This is in no way advocating for violence. What it is though is advocating for personal safety. It is us against evil and no one is coming to save us. It is your right to protect yourself and your family. ❤️
