didn't answer my question either...
do you have, own, use or test fire a weapon regularly?
No, I never have. We didn't have guns in my family while growing up--well that's not true. My father hunted and he had guns locked away. Women were not encouraged to shoot. I wouldn't particularly feel comfortable with one, although I've considered getting one. My boss carries a gun daily and yes, I feel comfortable with it in the office because I know and trust him. But in an institution like a modern school, I don't know the other people well enough to trust them carrying a weapon around me or my children.
