Guns in schools
Over half of Floridians are OK with trained personnel going armed in public schools.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

Actually, I’m okay with anybody who is legally armed anywhere else being armed in schools.
In fact, I helped keep personnel at the small town (but still problem-laden) high school that was across from my pawn/gun store for about twenty years armed regardless of official sanction.
In most cases it was a lot more about protecting themselves from grown thug students than from outside threats. I probably sold a few dozen handguns over those years to everyone from two different principles, vice principles, counselors, and several to one dean who just liked guns.
And I don’t think there was ever an incident of misuse or even being caught with the forbidden evil tools on campus. Yes, it’s a fairly conservative semi-rural area but it’s more just the simple fact that responsibly armed people in public do not result in anything bad and quite likely can play a part in preventing or dealing with anything bad in the possible but very unlikely event that armed intervention is needed.
Just another public place where the Constitutional right to self-protection, and the sanctioned ability to be prepared for the protection of innocent others, should not only not be barred, but should be encouraged.

My vice principal is a former sheriff’s deputy.
I became a teacher after I retired from over 20 years as a firefighter and paramedic, where I spent part of my career working with the SWAT team. I spent years as an IDPA competitor, and I am a military veteran. I have carried a concealed weapon for more than 25 years.
Neither one of us can carry a weapon.
