BykrBayb, I understood your meaning, and found no fault in it whatsoever. I am somewhat in the same boat as you in that I would like people to find more courage in situations such as these instead of running in fear. A courage multiplier, for the Teachers anyway, might be allowing them to conceal and carry within the school. Or, if that doesn't fly with most people, post police watches on the schools. One or two officers per school shouldn't be too much of a burden. They don't even have to patrol within the school, just outside of it, either on foot or on bike.
The little high school we have here in our very small, safe town, has a trooper stationed in it every day for the length of the school day. He's ALWAYS in the cafeteria/lobby during lunchtime talking with the kids. I've even seen some of the jr high kids sneak looks over at him just before they start fooling around, to see if he's looking.
His presence seems to have a taming effect. The kids also seem to be on very good terms with him; there are always some chatting with him.
Funny thing is, this IS the type of community where we wouldn't expect something like this to happen and yet we have an armed trooper stationed here every day.
