Not impressed until it's allowed in grade school

I vote good.

However there should be concern for when someone can't handle their alcohol, get's disgruntled and remember they carry.

Criminals polled in studies and surveys have consistently referred to schools, bars, and other no-carry areas as "victim disarmament zones." If just one person in the Virginia Tech or Columbine scenario's had been able to return fire the loss of life might have been much lower. I'm not going to rehash the st6atistics of people who have CCW permits vs people who dont and the correlation with gun related crimes, those numbers can be found with a google seacrh andf they speak for themselves. I sincerely believe this is a step to preventing further violence in schools.

Excuse me?
What fucking criminal (let's forget the polling) is going to use the term "victim disarmament zone"

Seriously....

I'm for it, just like Amorok said.

I voted bad idea. Administrators, yes; students, no.

I agree that "gun free zones" are just a place for criminals to shoot fish in a barrel, I just don't think the students should be armed. Kids don't have sufficient impulse control.

Teachers, administrators, and security personnel, yes.
