    At poudre high school in FT. Collins we had guns in our back windows until we got some ol bitch principle my junior year in 1993, she threw a stink about it. Then we had a cop after that to make sure we didn't carry guns to school. But they also had spit cups in the cafeteria in the mornings for is. My how times have changed for the worst! I couldn't imagine going to school now with all the pussified rules. Hell we never thought about shooting or stabbing each other and we all had guns! Every once in a while we went out to the baseball field and settled our differences like men and that was that, you win some you lose some but you always learned from it.

    I did get a 3 day vacation my senior year for having a 357 under my seat i forgot about. The damn "parking lot monitor" seen it.

    We had two Samoan security guards at my HS, although I never quite figured out why. Neither one of them were armed (like they needed to be...both of them were as big as a Sumo wrestler) and I don't recall there ever being an issue that they were really needed for. Possibly because they were there, I suppose...you never need a gun until you really need it, so maybe they kept things from happening. I doubt it, it was a fairly quiet school in a pretty good area.

    Of course, the last time I saw the place in about 1997 it had gone from an open campus to looking like Alcatraz South. Huge cement wall around the whole place, with a few iron gates.

    Yup, Samoan security guards probably are effective against students who are horsing around and the usual stuff by normal kids. But they are totally useless against a firearm-armed nutjob intent on mass murder. There are a lot of schools with these unarmed security guards. The big objection IMHO to putting armed cops in schools or arming teachers is from the teachers unions - who are universally anti-2A and anti-gun. Many are determined to keep any gun possessed by a law-abiding citizen off their campus, at any cost.

    The first lawsuit is in the works. $100 million for a 6 year old survivor. The comments again show the absolute cluelessness of our society.
    Lawyers make every scenario a lose lose for someone. Imagine if a teacher at Sandy Hook had been armed and shot the intruder but a bullet passed through him and killed a child? There would be the same law suit against the school AND the teacher even through the teacher would have saved 25 lives.

    Let's not and say we didn't.... Plus, if your bullet passes through, you're doing something wrong. Wrong ammo or you missed.
