Who's job is it to protect you as an individual person?

The solution has always been there since before the ratification of the Bill of Rights, which contains the 2nd Amendment. Your right, your child's right and every American's right. Like it or not!
Allowing teachers to carry is a state/ district issue.

No one has messed up enough, for me to pull my sidearm out of my waistband in 35 years.... But when it does happen?

By "young enough", I simply meant that I couldn't be there with them in school to physically make a statement.
Got it. Sorry.... No bullying intended!

No one but you, can protect yourself. If you feel differently, then slavery to others is in your future.
Keep your powder dry, good sir.

The instruments of change are exercising their voices. Soon, their majority will be in tune.

Fight your good fight, as your uncompromising, stiff necked, stand your ground attitude will yield you what you fear the most . . . It will render you empty handed.

That is the same exact reason I pack heat. I don't trust other people either.
No, you really don't understand a thing.

And don't shoot yourself in the thigh trying to draw your pistol from your waistband. I had a buddy who did that in 1974 and hit his femoral artery. He bled out before the ambulance could arrive.

A good holster will pay for itself. Berns-Martin makes some good ones.

In some areas, parents advocated walk outs and school violence during the period of school integration.

And at this minute, one of them is on a Sunday talk show expressing extremely articulate statements on this issue, while you are on a keyboard expressing condescending negative remarks disparaging them, rather than addressing the issue.

Like I said--underestimate them at your own risk.

So you don't have a problem with our children being slaughtered, you just want them to shut up about it!
That's not a constructive argument. All it does is make people angry and defensive. You're just lashing out here.

I don't agree with suspending them, but I think they should still be responsible for completing all work and should not receive any extensions or grace periods.
