concealed permits /= failsafe
Imagine if a person in one of those classrooms had a concealed weapon and the requisite training -- maybe they take out the perpetrator, maybe not. Maybe they take a few shots in a panic and hit a fellow student or a security officer responding to the situation. Sure, logic dictates that another armed party would increase the odds of ending such a situation sooner with less bloodshed. But logic also dictates that it could potentially make an already awful situation worse.
But anyway...
Thanks for today's column, King. Well considered and thought-provoking as always.
