I taught for the last 5 years and could not carry a weapon by contract. Any other person with a concealed carry can bring a weapon on campus. I really don't want to carry at school but I don't want the potential shooter to know I am unarmed. Some should be. In our school, even the security is not allowed to carry and that wrong. I am a gun advocate with nearly 40 years in the military and combat experience. I think we need to tighten the rules on selling weapons but not ban them. I was appalled to learn this kid bought that weapon at 18. I would be in favor of raising the age for buying to a much later time. Mass killings have been done with knives, are you going to ban knives? Mass killings have been done a lot with trucks and cars, going to ban them? We can't keep guys like this from doing it but we should have people armed that can stop it. In the Florida shooting we did and that guy should be prosecuted for failure to do his job just as a soldier would be for desertion. He took the money for years and then didn't do his job when the time came. Wish the answer were simple but it isn't.
