My children would be in school B. And hopefully at least half the teachers there would be veterans.

School A will be a gun free zone. School B will allow trained armed teachers. Allow parents to choose which school they want their children to attend.

Which one fills up first?
Which one do the teachers want to work at?
Which one does the Criminal Coward choose to visit when he wants to get famous in the media?

Also, a lot of ex-military go into teaching after their 20 years. They would probably be ideal for the armed teacher scenario.

Bingo. Just like “gun free zones”. The only way to make them truly gun free is to have people with guns enforcing that rule. If nobody enforces it, then it’s a meaningless sign with no means of enforcement.

I vote that we let good guys carry, so if a bad guy pulls a gun, there’s a good guy with a gun already there.

We get to choose if it takes place in 20 seconds or 20 minutes. Take your time.

Terry,

Thanks and please spread the word. It will take a huge change in embedded mindsets to make a difference.

Bob,

Even if it’s not a certain death trap, it just has to be enough of a deterrent to make one of these cowards think twice about it. I don’t think anyone would consider an attack on a school certain death, but it really just has to be “probable death” to have the deterrent effect.

Thanks for reading, and for your comments.

Chris

Angela,

Keep straightening people out, and maybe we’ll eventually get to the point that we adopt plan B.

If concealed carry by school personnel is allowed, encouraged and made public, cowardly killers will view every adult in the school as being armed and will not even think about entering such a “death trap”.
