I love how this stuff gets covered up (not reported)...:facepalm:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_High_School_shooting

Check out how CNN says that the principal stopped the shooter:
"Woodham was fleeing from the high school when an assistant principal rammed his car into Woodham's mother's vehicle to stop him."

Ahh nothing like some liberal bias media for a late night read. :coffee:

:thumb: I'm surprised that is just now surfacing. I read about it awhile ago in Gun Facts v6.0. Of course...not many news stories on it. From what I know about it, he had to run quite far to get his .45 to comply with the gun-free zone...imagine if he had it on his person. I'm not sure if it was this incident, but there was one where the School Security actually ran away from the fight instead of attempting to stop the shooter.

My precalc teacher was talking about allowing guns in school and he is for it. He concealed carry's everywhere but school, and he wants that to change. :USA: teacher, I salute you! (He rides a motorcycle too)

I do remember a couple years ago I was showing him something on my computer, and my background was of .308's on a belt, and he asked me if they were .22's. :bonk: Other than that...:thumb:

I had to stop at the point where people said he held a gun to a students head. It's cool guys he can shoot us, he's a student.

From what I understand guns have to be at least 1000 ft from the building, which meant that he had to park down the street.

Arming teachers is a big can of worms that nobody wants to open and with good reason. However IMO the reason so many people are targeting schools is because they know that they have free region (gun free zones) until police get there. And by that time they've killed numerous kids and themselves. :(

Like one ex cop once said, if you believe that cops primary stop crimes in progress, you're sadly misguided. In most cases they arrive just in time to do the paperwork. :(

If this country would allow people to carry as well as teachers or principals with correct training this would put a big dampener on this kind of activity in my opinion. Just like the sky marshals they decided to put in planes. :thumb: Makes people think twice and if they still decide to do some stupid shit then they have asked for the repercussions coming next. Lot's of lives may be saved this way.

I think we should give the teachers a choice if they wish to be armed or not. And the county or state could offer a training course. For the.people that don't feel safe having their kids around guns, its basically the same concept as a school police officer. I don't see kids going around taking the cop's gun and shooting up the school, why would they now? They wouldn't know it is on the teacher if it was concealed
