Attention: Unarmed Victims Here

Dave Kopel, who is apparently quite hot, writes about the folly that is the idiotic policy of making schools a free-fire zone for criminals.

Uhh. . ., I think the links are flipped. Kind of funny how it reads, tho.

...since most killers don’t have the skills to build bombs...

How can anyone in the 21st Century NOT know that simple bomb making plans are only a click away on Al Gore's wonderful internet. Or plans can be had in "Steal this Book" or in "The Anarchists Cookbook", or in any dozens of other sources.

As to keeping guns off of school property, and School Services Officers NOT going after shooters, or even last weeks madness in an Amish School where the shooter knew no one was liable to fight back, I know several teachers who now carry a hand gun into their schools. Trying to protect themselves and their students. They are going on the old axiom that, "it's better to be judged by 12, than carried by 6".

I've also noticed that, to my knowlege, that not one shooter has tried one of these stunts in places like Texas, Florida, here in North Carolina, in fact it's not happening anywhere that they FEAR the authorities before the fact.
