    I am a teacher. I am scared. I would train and be responsible enough to be willing to carry a gun to protect both myself and my students. We have no security except for a secretary who buzzes visitors through the door and I have never seen her not buzz someone in. We do practice lockdown procedures and as a part of the school safety plan I keep my classroom door locked at all times. I am trained each year on how to diffuse a physically violent student and utilize non-violent physical restraints. But in a moments notice, a weapon would be overpowering and this training would br useless. Schools are gun free zones that have no protection. Even our local hospital has officers that carry guns. Prisoners have more protection than are innocent school children. Thank you for your very informative blog. It’s time we start considering changing the way schools are protected. It’s time to wake up.

      I think it is important before we ‘do something’ we need to define exactly what our goal is & then analyze the ‘something’ against the ability to achieve the goal. It is difficult for me to understand how more laws & regulations will bring about any desired result unless it is simply to make people feel good because we done ‘something’…which I guess is often the case…good luck on your permit to carry training.

    I hear ya Dan, Folks here are so focused on the gun issue that they miss the fact that the same thing is happening in China, except there they’re using knives. The real problem isn’t guns, it’s what is driving this behavior… Great Post! Merry Christmas!.
