Most Floridians say they support trained staff carrying firearms on school campuses, according to a new survey released Tuesday. The 2016 University of South Florida Sunshine State Survey found more than half of adult Floridians (56 percent) are in favor of allowing trained staff to carry firearms at schools. Forty percent of Floridians say they are opposed to allowing firearms in schools, with 29 percent saying they are strongly opposed to the idea.

| One should listen to teachers that can't protect their students in case of an active shooter. My wife taught at an elementary where she couldn't even so much as lock her classroom door from the inside, much less carry. It's a real heart breaker to tell a caring teacher that they are restrained from the means to keep their children safe. Of course, quality training is prerequisite to being armed in schools. |

TO REMEMBER |
| As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
