Michigan: Bill Allowing Concealed Weapons In Schools Approved By House Committee

[Kablooie]

119. The shooting at the school today actually supports this bill.

Outlawing concealed weapons has no effect on a shooter entering a school.

If teachers were allowed to have concealed weapons, one of them might have been able to stop today's shooter.

I'm not for guns and have never owned one but the fact that armed shooters attack schools does give some credence to the idea that, tragically, allowing guns in schools for defense might have some validity.

There is the possibility of tragic accidents occurring with the guns, of course, and that must be taken into consideration, but when we have a society where shooters enter schools and kill multiple children and teachers, allowing defensive weapons to be available needs to be considered.

It's horrible and something that no one wants to consider but in the reality of today's society, unpleasant options must be part of the discussion.
