If there were more responsible adults on school campus legally carrying concealed firearms, it would be a deterrent to mass murderes who target schools.

I agree, please post your comments here for the benefit of the "intellectually challenged" people in Olympia who have worked themselves into hysterics: http://www.haloscan.com/comments/theolympian/609260315/

School officials learned about the gun after a co-worker asked Roe how she is protecting herself against her husband, the police report states, and she told him that she had a gun in her purse, according to the sheriff's department.

WHY COULDN'T THIS CO-WORKER JUST STFU??? The woman told you how she was protecting herself honestly. So why did the co-worker have to go running to the principal like the beeyotch she is? Jeez Louise I friggin' hate tattletalers.

No decision was made Monday about whether Roe will face criminal charges

...and idiocy reigns across the land once again.

After the events of last week, I think teachers should be encouraged to arm themselves.

First, she should have obtained a court order *requiring* her to be armed in public. These are not as uncommon as you might imagine, and trump local laws. Once she had obtained a local order, then she would need to present that order to a federal judge, so that it could be extended to also supercede federal laws against carrying weapons on school grounds.

Once this had been done, the school would have had no choice but to have permitted her to be armed on school grounds.

I highly recommend that if you need a concealed weapon for immediate personal protection, that is, you have a reason to need it right now, you get such a legal order. Otherwise, there are any number of hassles you will get from all levels of government and business.

Funny how it was reported that it was not clear if the gun was loaded. In Texas there is nothing in the gun statutes that differentiates between a loaded or unloaded gun.

The co-worker told Nisqually Principal Karen Owen

A$$hole. And if the woman's husband had come on campus and killed her, would the co-worker be at the anti-domestic violence vigil wondering why this had happened to her friend?

The teacher was stupid to say she had a gun on campus, but the co-worker was an idiot, more concerned about the gun than whether her colleague could protect herself.

The law says no one except law enforcement officers can bring a firearm onto school grounds.

Yeah, that mean-old GUN-FREE SCHOOL ZONE sign sure stopped the kid in Wisconsinstan from popping his principal.

Man I am so mad about this AARRRGGGHHH. I feel like zotting someone.

If these teachers were required to be LEOs we would have half the trouble in schools we do now. Plus knowing the law maybe they wouldn't have their hands in kid's pants so often.

This is interesting. I've never heard of this.

Do you have any links to more information about this?

It seems the coworker was a HIM according to the reports. What a 'girly man' (apologies to the ladies here at FR).

Her big mistake was confiding in a chickenshit colleague, who, of course, "told".

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. I am sure sorry this happened to the lady.

I'll bet her .38 special was a S&W AirLite. They weigh 12 ounces unloaded.

After a couple of instances where little girls were nearly abducted from local elementary schools, I asked my ex-wife (an assistant teacher) why the schools didn't have more armed guards.

She said that the school system felt that the presence of armed LEO's would frighten the children. The school officials wanted the children to feel safe.

There you have it, they want them to FEEL safe rather than actually BE safe! Unbelievable.

Stupid, heartless, government a**holes.

Is this what they teach the children? "Rules is rules, no room for common sense 'round heah!".

Nope, everything that is good and moral is "relevant". Except when it violates one size fits all policy. Then it's all black and white.

Stalinist hypocrites.
