    Who said that more guns make us safer?
    are you saying that there are places where guns should not be allowed?
    There already are places where guns aren't legally allowed. Concert venues are among them.

    This is a pretty ham-fisted attempt at an intentionally antagonistic thread, FWIW.
    Check out all the places where guns ARE allowed- restaurants, schools, bars, churches, Starbucks, Krogers, Walmart, on and on and on. It's ridiculous. The whole concept does deserve a heavy razzing and criticism.
    Guns are against the law to have near a school…

    This thread is also ridiculous...
    school districts have voted to allow teachers to carry guns in school.

    i know people who will leave the field of teaching if they are told to carry a gun at work.

    i don't see how it is ridiculous. it is a valid point. i want to take my guns to a concert. i want to be a vigilante and save everyone in case something happens. so can i?

    Vigilante a member of a self-appointed group of citizens who undertake law enforcement in their community without legal authority, typically because the legal agencies are thought to be inadequate.

    So that would be illegal…

    Above with the school thing. I read the articles and can't figure out besides colleges, where you can carry a gun. When I lived in Florida and Louisiana it was illegal. So if they are changing laws then I am unaware...

    I wish that were true but the fact is, they are allowed in schools in some parts. Check it out:

    Allowed by teachers/adults with training. It's not like students are running around armed and playing cops and robbers.

    Some of those states only allow guns on campus if they're locked inside a vehicle.

    This varies from state to state.

    For the record, I don't think that just anybody should be able to carry guns wherever they want. There is a huge difference between someone who has sought training, passed a background check and proven themselves proficient with a gun and someone who just went and bought a gun because they thought it was a cool thing to do. Taking it even further, the guy with restraining orders, violent crime convictions or serious mental illness shouldn't be allowed anywhere near guns.
    tell that to the nra leadership.
    I have.

    A school district doesn't have the authority to make a teacher/faculty member carry a gun against their will.

    Concerning the last part of this post, (and the whole thread, I guess): Do you expect this discussion to have any positive influence on AMT?
