But are not allowed to have guns in schools because it a gun free zone; for them.

Has there EVER been an "accidental discharge" by an SRO or armed teacher in a school setting?

I've never heard of one.

The reason is that RSOs only draw their weapon WHEN THERE IS A PERCEIVED THREAT!!!!

[glock rocks]

A teacher dropped her handgun in a bathroom stall and had an ND...

Thanks Morgana. Mittwit isn't gonna like this...

Ya know, you can buy hand guns that simply cannot be discharged by dropping or other impact.

It’s all we have.

Execute to Educate ......... put those who murder to death.

That cartoon reminds me of the MAD Magazine cartoons of “Bonnie and Clyde” style bank robbers in Foreign countries fifty two years ago. OMG! Has it been that long! I’m OLD!

[ctdonath2]

There was one case in GA (last year?). Don't recall details, someone will for me...teacher did somehow fire "accidentally" when nobody else was in the room. Doesn't work there any more AFAIK.

Everybuddy here`n knows dang wel that them thar guns shoot all by themselves. That`s why we done lock our guns up in the cistern where`s it`s goodn` wet so they can`t grab that dry powder and climb out of the cistern n shoot some innocent child... no way! is we gonna have them guns on the loosse climbin out of them cisterns nope.! So we`uns done put a big boulder on top of the cistern just in case them guns trys to shoot their way out. yupyupyup.

"Ya know, you can buy hand guns that simply cannot be discharged by dropping or other impact. It’s all we have."

Are you sure? I've heard/read of cocked revolvers going off it they hit the ground wrong.

[Blueflag]

True. Don’t buy or use those as a modestly trained civilian.

There ARE numerous low cost revolvers that simply cannot be caused to fire by dropping or striking them. Any decent gun store can show you those.

Also modern well designed semi-automatic hand guns CANNOT be caused to fire by dropping or striking them.

Our EDC (every day carry) full size hand guns are the Springfield XDS, because they CANNOT fire unless you grip the stock AND pull trigger. Also chosen because they have no safety to fiddle with or remember and you can safely carry the gun with a round chambered and the gun cocked.

Gun education is key to gun safety.

True. I have a SIG 226, and 229, both have a block between the pin and primer that is removed by the action of pulling the trigger. I think you'd have a pretty hard time getting it to fire by dropping it.

Good choice. Nice firearm.

Fyi, our full frame 45s are all Sig P220s. ;-)

That one goes in the woods with me.

Nice. My 226 and 229 are 'Elites'. Love the stainless frame and slide. Got tired of black guns. They are the best shooters I have. Better than the 225 that I've had for about 20 years or so.
