I once suggested that all faculty and staff who legally could, should be encouraged to carry firearms. and that they be concealed, and unadvertised. that way anybody wanting to shoot up the joint wouldn't know who would shoot back.

Nice theory, but I doubt these wackos are concerned about someone shooting back because they know going in that they will die before its over.

it works in other areas, but most people here are so afraid of guns that they think that they have more to fear from their fellow employees than a homicidal maniac.

mind conditioning - their only hope lies in not thinking that it can happen to them.

But when someone shoots back, your aim is effected as is your concentration and ability to kill at will. Such a scenario and strategy is an excellent one because it will seriously reduce the amount of time such a killer has and therefore the number of children and people he/she can injure or kill.

But it would give the victims a chance to stop the terrorist short. Presently, schools are advertised victim zones. If some of the teachers and staff were CCW holders, there would be an opportunity for the victims to fight back.
