As a teacher I find our current procedures ridiculous. We're suppose to turn off the lights, lock the classroom door and huddled with the students on the floor. Any idiot is going to know that the students are in school by the backpacks, coats and lunchboxes on the shelves outside, during a normal school day.

I have been lobbying to have a weapon on campus, so it at least gives us a fighting chance to protect the students.

If nothing else get the students out the sliding windows in our room and off the school grounds as as quickly as possible.

Exactly what I told my kids when they were in school. Bust open a window and JUMP. Even with a broken ankle, they have a better chance of saving themselves. Crawl away, hide behind a bush...ANYTHING but a sitting duck.

Anyone at this time talking disarmament and disarmament of the children while in care needs to be tried for complicitness in murders and aiding terrorism, period. We know there are murderers out there, we probably knew this dude was a threat, but we still act stupid and take no measure that the gun owners and self defense people advocate.

It sounds cold of me to say so so soon, but that is the direction this has to be pushed.

America has tried the disarmed people zone thing at schools, theaters, malls, and the result invariably has been a target rich environment with little or no opposition for any demented malicious person who pops up.

We know no law can eliminate the guns in the hands of the determined. It has not worked anywhere it has been tried, even to the point of outright bans. Only letting people have a fighting chance to defend themselves and the innocents around them will mitigate the effects of the diabolical, not surrender.

It must be made unthinkable that anyone would even attempt (crazy or not) to harm such as those children--a swift and sure death would be assured.

Bend over, put your head between your legs, and kiss your X@#! goodbye..... That’s our school plan too...
