” dude, they put them IN THEIR PURSE!”
I teach, and my wife agrees that purse carry is a bad, bad idea.
Purses get snatched, dropped and forgotten about. If you carry in your purse you have to carry your purse like a bandolier... constantly on your body and in front of you. That’s not how women carry a purse and its’ a tell-tale to anyone with experience.
It isn’t actually a bad idea except in the minds of the tacticool. And wearing it like a bandelier is about the worst idea ever.
On your person or in a gun vault which bolted inside the desk that can be locked.
The firearm must be taken by the teacher when they leave the room.
That said, law enforcement, BCSO and the FBI worked very hard to make sure that this shooting happened.
