It's the law, but that doesn't make it sensible:
If you have a license to carry a concealed weapon, you can legally bring it into a school.
The theory behind this law is ... what? That an armed citizen just might happen to be in a school when some idiot decides to shoot it up? And then that armed citizen, surely knowing the proper way to handle the weapon and to deal with an armed idiot, will gun down that armed idiot before he, or she, can kill an innocent person or more? |

Surprisingly for this author, armed people HAVE indeed stopped some of those school shootings in the past, so I guess they actually DID know how to use their gun (SHOCKING!!!!) and deal with an armed idiot shooter (EVEN SHOCKIER!!!!!).
And, how about the idea that one does not give up the right to one's own self-defense simply by walking into a school? |

| Proper training for school staff to carry is doable. It mainly would serve as a preventative and thus a "win - win." Theory? Deranged mass shooters only target those schools unprepared for the evil they wish to inflict. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
