Many people haven't been back in any school since they graduated. I remember East Side High School in Paterson N.J. where the inmates took over the High School. Joe Clark was a tough guy who liked the camera but was in love with the idea of security. I wonder what he would say to this question? I have no doubt it would be Pro Security. That was many years ago and things have not gotten better since then. I was in that school almost every day, it wasn't good.

A person's point of view can and will be skewed dependant on the environment they are thinking about. Are they envisioning Mayberry, Little House on The Prarie or the reality of the Inner City and Schools like the ones in Connecticut?

If you're betting my families life on Gun or No Gun, Strap Up The Teacher! Train Them The Best You Can! Hope for a Positive Outcome in a Bad Situation.
Good Nucky. What might work in some school in Texas in a rural area might not be a good solution in a New York City public school. Local gun culture should also play a role. I had a 12 gauge shotgun by age 12 or so while growing up in Reno, Nevada and one of my "friends" shot me in the left pinky with a BB gun after he had been pointing it at my eye. I asked him to try shooting between my fingers. He missed. That was the end of that "friendship".
