It's good to see come common sense applied to the problem of school violence, instead of just irrational, knee-jerk reactions.

Much like concealed carry laws, I expect the hand-wringing emotionalists will be on here decrying blood running in the streets...then after 3 decades of evidence that they were wrong...they will still be making the same arguement.

Hopefully they will expand on that, use it as an opportunity to teach kids about guns, both the dangers, and the ways to handle them responsibly.
Oh I know i cannot wait to see how this plays out. We know an armed neighborhood is a lesser crime area

I agree with this, but i also agree, with remote control - door bolt locks, that would secure the room
I also agree the doors would be secure and with something in the glass mesh wire etc so it cannot be shot out

Pedophiles are also teachers.

I don't the the fantasy would have played out the way you seem to think. But, why don't you run us through it anyway? So a teacher in a class room across campus has a gun....GO!

Actually, when I went to school in Texas, we did carry guns to school.. We left them in the rifle rack in our pickups, but we did carry them to school.. None of those evil guns ever jumped out of the rack and shot anyone either.
