When my two were in school the parking lot was significantly pickups and most of them had a rifle or shotgun in the gun rack. As the national idjits started making noise the old Superintendent quietly asked the guys to put their guns behind the seat. I doubt he had enough grit to ask the same of the girls.

Local radio station, KMA, which seems to be run by a bunch of liberals, does a weekly poll on their website. This weeks poll is "do you think school teachers should be allowed to carry guns?" As of just a few minutes ago, it was about 52% in favor of teachers being able to carry. This is only Wednesday, so the results could slide in the other direction, but as of now, maybe there is hope? I had this discussion with my daughter that has been a teacher for over 15 years. She said it would be a bad idea for teachers to crry a gun at school because in her opinion most of her coworkers were not stable enough to be given that kind of responcablity. We have to remember where most teachers got thier education and who taught them. Uber liberal univerities with some of the most crackpot liberal professors that tax money can buy.

Yeah being in a farming community with lots of livestock every pickup had a gun in the back window some 2 the shop teacher let us refinish gun stocks and we brought the whole gun in then took it apart. Some times at lunch if someone had a new gun we all went out to look it over. My grand kids can’t even talk about or draw a picture of a gun now in the same school

They had shooting teams here when I was school plus everyone had a gun of some sort of gun in their car so ya could hunt after school....
And yet there were no shootings? ?
Prolly not the guns eh?
Of course back then we locked up the crazies.
I went to several years of college driving a 1970 Dodge Pickup with a Remington 870 in the gun rack. It was a different world back then.
I remember several boys having gunracks with guns in the back window of pickups in the school parking lot. No worries....our school only had 300 kids total k-12.

In high school, I had the ambition to go to a gunsmithing school. I bet that would fly like a lead balloon today!

My thoughts exactly, but there would be a few exceptions. (I hope). The majority of teachers would need psychological evaluation and training as well as firearms training. But maybe allowing firearms to even be ON school grounds would open the door to allow some security personnel to be present.

Sandburg, our school had 604 k-12 the year I graduated, we had one of the biggest classes at the time with 42 crossing the stage lol. I think this year there is maybe 3-400 total in the school.
