Tusc:
I'd have to agree with the rest of the fellows here, don't think their tryin' to beat up on ya......let me throw my $.02 into this as I'm trying to get my school system to allow employes to carry also.
IF a shooter gets in what are the teachers able to do if their kept unarmed OR put YOURSELF in a teachers position or any other sch. employe for that matter, would YOU like to be disarmed in that kind of situation not to mention not being able to EFECTIVELY (EFECTIVELY being the KEY WORD here,) protect themselves OR THE KIDS!!!!!!!!! We can worry ourselves to death about all the possible things that COULD happen, just like the anti-gun crowd does. While we're on this subject, let's consider the anti-gun cry for a second, " THERE"LL BE BLOOD IN THE STREETS, BLOOD IN THE STREETS " EVERY SINGLE STINKIN" TIME there is a pro-gun law pasted. I along with everyone else here, sees the folly in that way of thinking! Where IS all that BLOOD IN THE STREETS, WHERE, where IS it?.......Hmmmmmmm.......because there ISN"T any (other than the bad guys blood, hopefully, if any)!!! My point is this.....if carrying in public works, it will work in our schools. Or to put it another way, If you don't trust the employes in our schools, then you couldn't , buy that logic, trust any of us who carry in public. Do you think the public, in general, as a whole, are safer because of those of us who choose to carry?......YOU BET IT IS (and you can bet your a** they'll NEVER admit to that fact). One question, Tusc......why do you carry? Why do the rest of us carry? THAT is the SAME reason school employes should be allowed to carry!!!!
Waiting for law enforcement to show up and save the day is "BS".......Sandyhook proved that, (with the body count they had, I wouldn't say THAT was saving the day, would you?
Just pointing out the common sense and logic here. Problem we have is that we have cowards, yes, COWARDS, deciding how we should protect our children and that's PATHETIC !!!!!!!!
