Indiana School Gets Smart

The North White high school in Monon, Indiana did it. They're not the only one, but that's not enough. They’ve made it possible for teachers and other staff to be armed while in school. But they just couldn’t resist putting “severe” conditions on it, making it possible for somebody to find out just who might be armed before coming in and shooting the place up. They’re relying on a study done by the Homeland Security Administration that says no other way would allow quicker response to a shooter in the school. And we need an expensive “study” to find out what we’ve been telling them, all along? “The Homeland Security Institute found that adding concealed carry holders to the mix reduced both response times and casualties the most of any scenario tested. As Dr. Dietz characterized it, more friendly guns in a firefight is a good thing.” I wonder how many bucks it cost to find that out. Of course, the anti-gun fools tried to make fun of the concept; “When anti-gunners attempt to frame the issue of teachers and administrators carrying in schools, they whip up the strawman of an untrained doddering old spinster wielding some sort of hand-cannon, scared of her own shadow, blasting away at students, her fellow teachers, and responding police as she attempts to “clear” the school.” This is all they have: phony ridicule. NO facts to back up their silly positions. (Bearing Arms)
