Eliminate the gun free zones and call it good. Make the potential killers roll the dice on whether they’ll face opposition.

I agree with this wholeheartedly. These "gun free zones" really piss me off. They should just be honest and call them "resistance free zones for criminals and disgruntled ex-employees"....sheesh.

Also, as far as the armed guards at schools, I think it should be something like the air marshal program (except not federalized) where the armed guard "fits in" like any of the teachers/administrators. Heck, even give them a "job" to help keep the cover. Not knowing whether there is a marshal at the school would be a nice little deterrent to someone like Lanza.

I personally think janitors and maintenance men would make ideal security personnel. They know their way around and tend to be pretty invisible when they choose to be.
