Me either, but that's the big plan of safety.

I does. It is nonsense.

We the last conservative holdout in the state. Our state rep is awesome, and she supports the second amendment. Love her! And she's never missed a vote. Takes her job seriously.

Well, I would NOT be a sitting duck, ;-p

quack quack.

That's great...surprising considering all the CT laws going into affect. I don't know why any are apposed to it. The PC crud has to die.

No, but I'll check it out in a bit.

Except to provide easy targets.

You're welcome. :)

Mass shootings almost always happen in gun free zone. It just makes sense for someone to be prepared to defend the kids.

We have cops in our schools, who carry pistols. Ready to use. I like that. They always have though, even before Sandy Hook. Just an all around deterrent. Our HS principal carries.

Hey Shrug. Have you ever seen this website. The unfiltered news section is interesting.

The result of 30+ years of progressive education is that most parents today are idiots. They need to treated as such. Ignore them-do what is right and eventually they shut up and go back to downloading fart apps for their smart phones.

I'd go for that. The parents on the other hand would go berzerk.

Thanks for the visual..Please hold off your attack- our guard is taking a pooh.

I always thought that we should publicly state that any teacher or school administrator who submits to a background check is permitted to carry on school grounds. That ends it. These nut cases won't open fire if they don't know who does and does not have a gun.

Thank you. In my opinion if there are guns on campuses (and I'm a big advocate for this) then they should be on a person at all times, loaded and ready. Preferably concealed so no one knows who has them...the more the better. The kids don't even need to know for that matter. Parents are paranoid, they have an irrational fear and the schools typically reenforce that paranoia with the whole "no finger gun playing at recess" crap. Guns=evil by default. Another reason to home school. The lock down drill at my school is the hide in a corner....and wait. That accomplishes nothing... quack quack.

Still within reach..... If you have to dig out a key or punch in a combination...or hope the person who has access isn't in the crapper or out to lunch it is not "within reach" and it is not an advantage whatsoever. Their only saving grace is that they have pistols on their hips. (I HOPE that's where they are...and LOADED.)

Point taken on the key and access. We want to keep them away from the kids and the bad guys but you are right. When you need them you need them now.

The lock down of the rifles would be necessary for the parents to go along with this. I can see that.

They are still within reach, and any advantage is a plus.

Guess I should have kept reading...I didn't know they already had pistols. The thing with locking them up... who has the key?, what if that person is hit first of off sick or on the other side of the school. I don't like the idea of having guns for protection that are locked up. When you need one you need it NOW. I commend them for having pistols. All schools should.

I disagree . The fact that they are there is a deterrant. I assume the guards will continue to carry hand guns as a first line of defense. The AR-15 would be for the extreme cases. I like the idea.
