It was considered strange that he wore the ear plugs. No word on whether he wore glasses of any kind.

Didn't ask if you'd blasted a bunch of kids. Simple question was about operating under any condition where adrenaline came into play.

Yes, smoke could be a factor. Sound, he wore earplugs. Concussion, I don't know.

I have experience with someone with Aspergers Syndrome which Lanza reportedly had. He is 17, an accomplished tennis player and an active amateur radio operator. Socially, he is somewhat awkward, shy even. I am one of just a few he is comfortable with.

What training other than knowing how to operate the rifle did he need?
