How does it make it less like a school? Unless, of course, you follow the inherently flawed doctrine of 'gun free zones are safe', and 'schools should be gun free zones'...in which case you are obviously incapable of thinking about it logically.Originally posted by: grrl
Your response is specious. People will know that some teachers have a concealed weapon, so how does that reality (and necessity) make it more like a school?
I've carried on school property/in school. They were none the wiser. Would you panic if you knew how many people were carrying concealed firearms all around you, in your ordinary everyday life? Why doesn't that knowledge make it 'less like a movie theater', 'less like a restaurant', 'less like a grocery store', etc?
If he had had the option and accepted, then something may have been different. However, due to people with your mindset, we'll never know- and people still died.Originally posted by: grrl
You are assuming that Librescu would be armed, which would be a matter of choice for him. If he had had the option and declined, then nothing would have been different at Virginia Tech.
Think about it, grrl. Dozens of police officers are killed every year by people without your "necessary elements of police training." Don't underestimate the capability of a legally armed citizen.Originally posted by: grrl
Why do you equate handgun training with training for a life/death situation? Does that really include the necessary elements of police training?
Perhaps not- but your chances are a hell of a lot better than having nothing.Originally posted by: grrl
Yes, I'm saying license to carry a concealed weapon does not guarantee the ability to effectively employ the weapon.
Edit: You don't even live here. Why don't you give that a shot first before you tell us how we should run things?
