Should Snyder Sign Bill Allowing Concealed Weapons in Schools? (MI)(POLL)
northville.patch.com ^ | 14 December, 2012 | Clare Pfeiffer Ramsey

Should Michigan's governor sign a bill on is desk that would allow concealed weapons in former no-gun zones, like schools?

The question is timely for two reasons:

* Under legislation that passed the House and Senate in Michigan this week, gun owners with concealed weapon permits could carry a gun into schools, daycares, hospitals or public arenas if they get extra training. The bill is awaiting Gov. Rick Snyder's signature, according to MLive.

* And on Friday, a gunman opened fire in a school in Newtown, CT, killing at least 27 at an elementary school, including 18 children.

Tough and armed vets as teachers are the way to go. They can clear the way for our women to properly teach kids who show respect and an interest to learn.

My swim coach was a veteran of Guadalcanal. My algebra teacher landed at Normandy. My English teacher was really cute, and she wore low-cut blouses.

We were able to bring guns to school for hunting into the 80s. Still no shootings at my old school. (or thousands of others)

One armed teacher or administrator would have saved dozens of lives today.>>>>>>>>>>>

Thats a fact. And on top of it the teachers of today are “ in loco parentis” they have a duty to keep students safe.
That duty can only be discharged completely if a teacher is carrying, or has ready access to a classroom/school arms locker.

Thats a pure fact. But today the large majority of teachers are so 2nd amendment challenged that they cannot even contemplate the necessit involved.

Obama will attempt to make us all into sheep once again, using this tragedy.Eff him and his whole crew.Our schools need to be kept safe, and this can only happen if teachers carry or have access to self defence arms at school.

Connecticut has gun control laws, but a fat lot of good they did.

If Lanza know that he may be facing a weapon other than his own at the school, he would have finished himself off at home.

Thank you. This one had been around since 2005, IIRC. There really are sleeper agents in FR.

By definition, the media covers events like today's school shootings. They are "NEWS." In the overwhelming majority of cases when guns are used to protect and/or save someone from harm, there's no media present and no harm to the innocent. Hence, no "news."

IOW, you only hear/read about the bad events that receive the media coverage. You don't hear about them when a person successfully defends him/herself with a gun.

You are a sick little liberal fascist.

Thousands of one room school houses across the nation were kept safe by a shotgun standing in the corner, over these last 100 years.

Come to think of it, you can come on over here, I ‘ll give you my address, and I would be happy to show you exactly what I mean. Or perhaps visit a school district in Israel?

The duty of teachers is to keep children safe at school, they stand in loco parentis. That danger now includes shooters who would enter the school and kill students. The answer, and the only answer of any American who has an ounce of sense is to arm teachers and make sure they are trained to discharge their duty to keep students safe.

Its just that simple.Meanwhile you think that disarming law abiding citizens is the answer, so that they too will be victims to the next crazy a$$hole like you are who comes along armed?..... Making Americans all into sheep who must depend on others for self defence, one of the most basic human rights of any civilized nation?

Buahahahahaha! Take a long walk of a short pier you flaming liberal fascist idiot.

What an idiot, and what ridiculous arguments. You can’t stop teenage sex with more teenage sex. You can stop an evildoer with a gun, using another gun, and it happens all the time.

What's really annoying, is that the guy joined up here and lied about himself to get in our good graces. Typical liberal. I'm sure he feels smug and self-righteous about cheating and lying to fool a community of people who trusted him.

SAR, I know you're reading here and having a laugh, but the joke's on you. What you did was wrong, and no amount of gloating on your part will change that. You put a black mark on your own heart, and you're gonna carry that weight, my friend.
