All very good and sensible measures. Saw on the news this morning that Butler County Ohio Sheriff offered FREE concealed carry classes to teachers and other school personnel. Available spots (around 300) filled up in one day. Training starts tomorrow. He said it would be legal in Ohio for school personnel to pack if the school OK'd it. Not making any judgment here, but which way do you think most school boards will go to increase security? Article in the Bucyrus Telegraph Forum: www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com/story/news/2018/03/23/teachers-and-guns-regions-educators-flock-free-concealed-carry-permit-classes/446396002/224 school employees in Richland, Ashland, and Crawford counties sign up for free CC classes. Great article and it's encouraging to see the amount of cooperation and pro-activeness going on to enpower teachers in those counties. Don't know how many Ohio school districts allow CC today, but an article in 2013 revealed there was 164 districts permitting CC among their faculty's at that time. Certainly, that number has increased. I especially like the fact that school districts quietly make those decisions, that's the way it should be.

This is the craziest thing I've heard so far after the shooting at the Florida school. There have been many schools across the country in which the students have walked out of school to protest gun laws OR an organized walk out protest was allowed by a school. At one school a student chose not to join the protest. That student was suspended for one day for exercising his Constitutional right NOT to protest. Willard, Here's another crazy one for your books. A student was suspended for walking out of school to march in protest of the weapons law. The school was not allowing students out for the day to protest.

Most schools dismiss at 3pm. How about a full day of learning and have the organized protest immediately afterwards. Instead of 'protesting' for 17 minutes, they could conduct their protest till sundown. Oops, that's right, they would miss the bus.

At least give the kids credit for getting involved in the process whether you agree with their position or not. It at least gives me a little hope for our future. That is if we can survive our present.

Yes, free speech and the 1st amendment gives those kids the right to advocate limiting and infringing upon the 2nd amendment rights of others. I find that highly ironic. The shameful thing is adults using the kids to advance their own political ideology.

We accept a certain amount of risk. That’s the price of freedom. What frustrates me is people don’t get that. Put cops in every school. Put them in every store. Put them in every public venue. Walk through metal detectors. Submit to body searches. Open you bags, pockets, coats. Show your papers. Get taken to a private room for questioning.
America is great because we have the ultimate freedom. I can bad mouth the president. I can deride Congress. I can rap F the police. I can kneel during the National Anthem as a pro athlete on national TV.
If you want that kind of freedom you HAVE to accept a certain amount of risk. You’re more likely than die in your car on the way to school than in school, yet you drive there without a thought. Some kids get shot and everyone wants to change laws. Knee jerk. I acknowledge that I might get shot at the grocery store, but I can walk in that store wearing a thong. How great a country is that?
If you want to protect yourself the greatest country on earth allows you to concealed carry. Defend yourself. If you’re wrong you answer for it. This is the freakin greatest country ever. I’m proud to live in it and I’m proud to defend it.
I’d be proud to DIE for it.

I don’t really have an opinion on all this, I’ve tried staying neutral for the most part. However, I have been seeing pictures on social media from around the country of these protests and I’m seeing kids that have to be as young as 5 and 6 years old holding signs with wording on them that there’s no way they even understand what it says. For me that’s unfortunate as kids that young have no clue what they are even doing out there. That’s one part of all this that I don’t like, I wish parents would be smarter than that.

I wonder how many of those students could identify, without googling it, who said: "Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."

I can accept the Bill of Rights because even though they where written when our Nation has just won her independence are fore fathers had put in a article that it can be change or added on for the betterment of our nation in time. Now what I'm going to have nightmares about is possibly seeing fanofthegame in a thong. ROFL Lord help us all.

That would be a full on visual assault that might be grounds for you to use your concealed carry.

Fan, answer just one question for me, Where in the world would you carry your concealed weapon if you are wearing a very tight thong.
