Guns do not belong in school. Especially Elementary school. We (the "grown ups&quot are supposed to be setting an example, and this sends the wrong message(s).

on edit:

Thinking about what I said above..."grown ups" set the example for children, whether they want to or not.

Items missing from locked inventory areas this year: 2 laptop computers, more than 100 thefts of money from PE lockers, 2 vehicles from a controlled parking area.

So sure, no student will be able to steal a staff weapon, and even if they did, nothing bad would happen.

Right.

Well, this should touch over a new wave of retirements.
