No one should fear honest men and women with guns. We should all fear the day when honest men and women cannot have them, because the dishonest will not give up theirs. We outnumber them by the vast majority; the "goblins" (Jeff Cooper's term) are emboldened by the knowledge that most honest folks are unnarmed.

Preface - I am not anti-gun. But, I am baffled as to what to do to stop these bad people.
Why don't prison guards carry guns? While I think a teacher with a gun would be great in a Columbine situation, I think the danger of them being in schools in teachers desks outweighs the advantages.
I cannot even get my sons teachers to do their daily internet entries and we want to trust them to properly secure a gun?
I disagree with teachers being armed, but I agree guns are not the problem. I am just at a loss as to what to do.
