IMO this issue is about the "Gun Free Zones" mandated by the federal government. If you are a law abiding citizen, who has gone through the background check to work in a school, and then take on the responsibility to obtain a CCW permit, why should the federal government prohibit you from having your weapon with you while you are at work? Removing the federal prohibition from allowing school employees from concealed carry costs the taxpayers NOTHING! It may never prevent a crime, but it does allow adults, law abiding citizens the ability to defend themselves and others in the event that something like this ever occurs again.

If you say that guns in schools are dangerous, then why has Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC been allowing armed federal agents to possess numerous automatic weapons inside the school for decades? Are the President's children more important than mine? Is the US Secret Service so much more trustworthy than the average citizen?

The best government is less government.

Be safe.
