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 |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
