Super DeLux Brand Christian David Barton went on Glen Beck’s radio show and told a story about how school teachers and students used to be armed back in the olden days.

“The great example, in the 1850s you have a school teacher who’s teaching. A guy — he’s out in the West — this guy from New England wants to kill him and find him. So he comes into the school with his gun to shoot the teacher, he decides not to shoot the teacher because all the kids pull their guns out and point it at him and say, ‘You kill the teacher, you die.’ He says, ‘Okay.’ The teacher lives. Real simple stuff. Saved the life of — there was no shooting because all the kids — we’re talking in elementary school — all the kids pull their guns out and says, ‘We like our teacher. You shoot our teacher, we’ll kill you.’”

Well, come to find out, Mr. Barton was cnfused a little bit.  That story comes not from history but from a Louis L’Amour fictional novel, Bendigo Shafter.

I am shocked.  Just shocked, I tell you.
