Guns in Schools

http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/110895

Recently in Arizona, a state legislator proposed that CCW holders be allowed to carry in schools. After a few rounds with other legislators this got narrowed down to just CCW holders carrying at colleges and universities.

Well, now the Arizona Board of Regents has restated that all Arizona higher learning institutions continue to be gun-free zones. I am sure the criminals are thrilled to hear that their prey are still unarmed and free to be preyed on. Let's not give honest, law abiding people the opportunity to defend themselves....that would just make too much sense.

All that was needed int he Virginia Tech or some of the other recent school shooting is one teacher or student with a CCW to take the shot and the tragedies would have been lessened. Instead, the Arizona Board of Regents has certified that ASU. U of A, NAU, and the plethora of community colleges are "open season" to the next psycho, since they know that it is unlikely that anyone will be shooting back.
