Letting properly trained teachers opt to carry a concealed weapon would at least give them a fighting chance.
And what’s the alternative when preventive measures fail? One Florida teacher talked about putting her students in a closet and guarding it with a pair of scissors.
Really? If a shooter came in, who in their right mind would rather have a pair of scissors than a gun?
Similarly, the Department of Homeland Security advises that if you can’t hide from or flee an active shooter, you should try "throwing items and improvising weapons." Who in that scenario would rather improvise weapons than have one already ready to fire? |

Willie Sutton was asked why he robbed banks. He famously replied, "Because that's where the money is."
Prisons are 'disproportionately' inhabited by blacks. Could it possibly be because they disproportionately commit more crimes?
You do the math. |

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) |
