Exactly right. As long as would be killer has Knows where people to find unarmed people they will have a free fire zone whenever they want one.
As of today a free fire zone can be found at any local High School.
In some schools you may have to shoot a cop or two but that shouldn’t present too much of a problem with a little planning and superior fire power.
Only when the perp has no idea where or when the shot may come is there true deterrence.
The sad thing is, unless we decide to allow children to carry guns to school, schools will always be places where the vast majority of people will be unarmed and defenseless. Even if we allow administrators and teachers to have concealed-carry, I’d say only two or three teachers and administrators in my 7-12 grade high school were the type who might possibly carry a concealed weapon, and this is in a rural, rather conservative school district (as in, there are back roads you can drive down and see houses with huge confederate flags flying). So, even if everyone with both the ability and inclination to use and carry a gun did, it still wouldn’t be much different than having to ‘shoot a cop or two’ and that’s assuming the gunman doesn’t go to the school or hasn’t suddenly developed amnesia or otherwise somehow doesn’t know which teachers would be defenseless and which would (or actually do) have concealed weapons.
So, that said, the problem here is not limited to whether or not the teachers are allowed to carry guns, but it extends into whether or not the teachers would actually carry the guns. Allowing people to have CCW’s in certain places won’t do a bit of good unless someone actually takes the initiative to HAVE a CCW in those place. Granted, there are still situations where many people who, even if they wanted to have a CCW still shouldn’t for safety reasons or wouldn’t for practicality that will still amount to ‘free-fire zones’, but if people are allowed to carry and start to do so, they’ll be relatively few and far between.
