Hi lc,

Call it creaky memory syndrome. I thought that was your position. Or something like it.

In fact, I thought I said it might be worth testing your idea some place as an interim solution, just so long as it isn't near me.

Maybe you are particular about whether the person holding the weapon is a designated security pro/cop or a teacher. To me, training a teacher to carry and use a weapon and using a security pro isn't much different.

I had second thoughts once I realised that protecting schools isn't enough. You have to protect everywhere there are collections of people. Cinemas, shopping malls etc.

If you have armed police in every location, then you basically end up with a police state.

In choosing freedoms, which is the way these things work, I favour banning guns and being free of the worry that other folks have them, over freeing everyone to arm themselves and dodging the bullets.

Hi CF,

Wayne and I have very little in common. I have been against the NRA since refusing to go hunting as a child with my Dad many moons ago. I do not beleive teachers should have guns at school, if that is what you were alluding to.

Meantime, has your aim with the popcorn imrpoved any? They say throwing the entire bucket of popcorn at once can create the temporary but much-feared "wall of corn" Phalanx-style causing blindness for a split second to the perpetrator. I think a Budhist monk authored many such useful tactics. You can visit the stone it's written on located in Katmandu (senseless to kill a tree just for paper, shelter, cooking, and other useless things). Razz
