The teachers are targets anyway.
Currently, "no gun zones" are slaughterhouses waiting for the next nut to show up.
The original story I posted that infuriated so many described the conversion of Virginia Tech into such a zone:
Virginia Tech spokesman Larry Hincker was happy to hear the bill was defeated. "I'm sure the university community is appreciative of the General Assembly's actions because this will help parents, students, faculty and visitors feel safe on our campus."
This ghastly irony should have made people think very hard about this issue. Instead, I got my head bit off.
I'm open for suggestions. The first person on the scene in any crime is the victim. IMO, it wouldn't hurt to have them be able to defend themselves.
