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 |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
